hi..
thanks for your query
As your paramedical staff, you need to be careful while handling patients and body fluids. One simple and best measure to avoid infection is hand washing with antiseptics. If you follow this you will not get any infections from patients. Moreover, person with good immunity will not easily get infection. I suggest you wash your hands before going home.
Thank you
