The document outlines the priority status of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the context of COVID-19, detailing the minimum technical specifications required for quality, safety, and efficacy. It was formulated through a comprehensive review of COVID-19 infection prevention guidelines, market-available PPE products, and standards set by stringent regulatory bodies. Four key COVID-19 guidelines were analyzed to derive these specifications. Expert members of the Technical Advisory Group on Personal Protective Equipment and WHO regional consultants reviewed and provided input on these specifications. All involved declared no conflicts of interest. The document serves as a guide for the technical aspects of PPE, while clinical usage decisions remain with medical professionals based on infection prevention and control guidance.
