I'm regularity the Night Shift Nurse and most of my duties are sanitizing high contact equipment and surfaces including all stationary items aside from primary patient care.
My unit is at a raised level of General Asepsis that can be raised to full PPE the moment a confirmed positive case is present in my unit. For now all Staff are not required full PPE and it hasn't yet.
Wearing of masks, etc rules are mandated by the Administration.
Most worker shortages are attributed to compartmentalization of staff, Many Part Time staff are allowed to work in one facility and no more. This shortened our Staff pool as with many units. At the same time other facilities had suspended Elective and Day surgeries then laying off staff. A lot of patient suffering with correctable ailments.
