    Below you can find the questions raised by the participants in the webinar. Further analysis of the different topics will be redirected to the Q&A Board aiming to make the generated knowledge accessable for all EMS Network members.

    1. Do you test all staff members of your hospital or just the ones with symptoms of the COVID-19 disease? 

    2. How many times do you test the hospital staff? Per day? Per week?

    3. Does the health insurance cover the costs for COVID-19 testing? If not, then who is responsible for covering these costs?

    4. Who is responsible in your country for ordering tests for COVID-19 for first responders?

    5. Do you believe in the effectiveness of thermal imaging (FLIR) of patients to identify temperature/fever?

    6. What do you think about using a bracelet for triage?

    7. Do you think that smart glasses can be an option and applied successfully for tele-education?

    8. Do the members of your staff wear PPE in all cases of patients infected with COVID-19 no matter what the severity of their condition is?

    9. What do you think about patient home monitoring: bluetooth thermometers connected through the smart phones with the hospital?
