Central service technicians, also known as sterile processing technicians, are responsible for cleaning, sterilizing, and distributing medical equipment and supplies used in healthcare settings. The use of PPE such as gloves, gowns, masks, and goggles can act as a barrier to block or reduce exposure to the virus.
