Defending the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic: Protecting our first responders and emergency medical service personnel

This is the first wave of COVID-19, indicating an impending second wave set to emerge in the coming winter [1]. Along with the concern for additional outbreaks, studies are showing inconclusive evidence regarding the effectiveness of antibody-mediated immunity in those recovered from COVID-19 [2]. The possibility of reinfection combined with another wave of COVID-19 further supports the need to protect our frontlines. The number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise to 1,053,036 infected people and a quarter-million deaths [3].
