What type of gown is recommended for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19?
section_content: Nonsterile, disposable patient isolation gowns, which are used for routine
patient care in healthcare settings, are appropriate for use by patients with
suspected or confirmed COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is excellent because it answers the question in a straight-forward manner by suggesting the normal gown given to COVID patients.
This is relevant to the question and provides some helpful information, but it could use a lot more detail about the different types of gowns and when they should be used.

What is the difference between gowns and coveralls?
section_content: 
CDC’s guidance for Considerations for Selecting Protective Clothing used in Healthcare for Protection against Microorganisms in Blood and Body Fluids provides additional comparisons between gowns and coveralls.
Gowns are easier to put on and, in particular, to take off. They are generally more familiar to healthcare workers and hence more likely to be used and removed correctly. These factors also facilitate training in their correct use.
Coveralls typically provide 360-degree protection because they are designed to cover the whole body, including the back and lower legs, and sometimes the head and feet as well. Surgical/isolation gowns do not provide continuous whole-body protection (e.g., they have possible openings in the back, and typically provide coverage to the mid-calf only).
The level of heat stress generated due to the added layer of clothing is also expected to be less for gowns when compared to coveralls due to several factors, such as the openings in the design of gowns and total area covered by the fabric.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer doesn't detail the different types of gowns like the question is asking. This answer is comparing gowns in general to coveralls, so it doesn't answer the question.
This answer needs to be improved because it does not specify which specific gown(s) COVID patients need to wear at the hospital. Instead, the answer only really talks about how gowns work.

What types of gowns are available for healthcare personnel to protect from COVID-19?
section_content: 
While the transmissibility of COVID-19 is not fully understood, gowns are available that protect against microorganisms. The choice of gown should be made based on the level of risk of contamination. Certain areas of surgical and isolation gowns are defined as “critical zones” where direct contact with blood, body fluids, and/or other potentially infectious materials is most likely to occur. (ANSI/AAMI PB70pdf iconexternal icon).
If there is a medium to high risk of contamination and need for a large critical zone, isolation gowns that claim moderate to high barrier protection (ANSI/AAMI PB70 Level 3 or 4pdf iconexternal icon) can be used.
For healthcare activities with low, medium, or high risk of contamination, surgical gowns (ANSI/AAMI PB70 Levels 1-4pdf iconexternal icon), can be used. These gowns are intended to be worn by healthcare personnel during surgical procedures.
If the risk of bodily fluid exposure is low or minimal, gowns that claim minimal or low levels of barrier protection (ANSI/AAMI PB70 Level 1 or 2pdf iconexternal icon) can be used. These gowns should not be worn during surgical or invasive procedures, or for medium to high risk contamination patient care activities.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is excellent because it is very detailed about the different types of gowns and how they are used for different COVID patients. This answers the question in full.
This covers several different types of gowns that can be used, describes the situations when each one should be used, and gives a link to each type. This is the best possible answer for the question.
