More than 20 healthcare organizations are calling for stricter UK guidelines to be introduced on face masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE), APA reports citing BBC.
In a virtual meeting with officials, they will say existing rules leave them vulnerable to infection through the air, especially by new Covid variants.
The unprecedented appeal - thought to be the first time health and care organisations have united on a single issue in this way - will see them argue that other countries, such as the United States, protect their health workers with higher-grade equipment.
The delegation will include representatives of the British Medical Association, the Royal College of Nursing and many other professional organisations and unions.
On the government side will be about 20 of the most senior officials from all four UK nations, many involved in setting the guidelines on PPE.
