I watched in one of the CNN live reports: I saw the health worker standing face to face when he examined the suspected; i.e. both of the examiner and the examined were standing face to face .. while this is wrong.
The examined one should be sitting, and the examiner should be standing higher than the suspected one .. for this will lessen to a great extent the chance of the examined get the infection .. (in addition, of course the examiner having all other protective gowns, mask .. etc.)
This is to be considered in every case of influenza, not only in the corona virus infection only.
The doctor is to be in a higher position than the influenza patient, and not the contrary when the patient with the influenza is standing and the doctor is sitting for in this case the chance of the doctor contracting the infection will be higher.
BTW, this is not my own idea, but I heard it from my medical professor: the brilliant surgeon Dr. Khalid Naji, may God show mercy to his soul (if he is a true believer with an exclusive devotion to God alone; or if he repent before his death, or else I cannot ask forgiveness for him.)
