Resumo
O presente documento tem por objetivo informar sobre os modos de transmissão deste processo infeccioso, a tipologia dos equipamentos de proteção individual (EPIs), suas características, bem como orientar tecnicamente o uso correto destes EPIs no ambiente hospitalar pelos fisioterapeutas, e sobre a prevenção de transmissão cruzada por estes profissionais durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Além disso, estas recomendações nacionais estimulam os fisioterapeutas a se protegerem e utilizarem os EPIs adequadamente. Sabe-se que os fisioterapeutas são imprescindíveis na linha de frente de cuidados ao paciente com COVID-19, e que muitos procedimentos terapêuticos utilizados no contexto hospitalar são fontes dispersoras de aerossóis e assim fornecedores de risco ao ambiente e ao profissional. Desta forma, a proteção destes profissionais durante sua atividade-fim e do seu respectivo local de trabalho é motivo de grande preocupação por parte da ASSOBRAFIR.

Abstract
The purpose of this document is to inform about modes of transmission related to COVID-19, the typology of personal protective equipment (PPE) and its characteristics, as well as to provide recommendations about the correct use of PPEs in the hospital by physiotherapists and about the prevention of cross-transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the current recommendations encourage physiotherapists to use PPEs properly in order to protect themselves from being infected. Physiotherapists are essential frontline healthcare workers during the current pandemic, but many interventions used by physiotherapists are considered aerosol generating procedures and therefore are related to high risk of contamination. Thus, the safety of physiotherapists during their duties and the safety of their workplace is a matter of great concern to ASSOBRAFIR.
