Better to use automated sanitizer machine, automated liquid soap dispenser. Also avoid sitting on dirty chair and clean chair with normal clothes on, instead wear double shoe covers and double PpE gowns. If possible, try to wear eye protection before the Ppe gown so that there is no need to remove eye protection before doffing the ppe gown. Many more suggestions. Better to use face shield also over the face.
