Giải thích
Barriers are removed with gloved hands after each patient, discarded, and replaced with fresh barriers once hands have been cleaned and regloved, since the barrier surface is considered contaminated. Wiping a barrier and reusing it defeats its purpose. Contamination is frequently invisible, so leaving barriers up for a day, a week, or until they look dirty allows cross-contamination.
