Question regarding fit testing for N95’s:

Prior to the COVID pandemic, our Employee Health staff were performing fit tests in a room with 2 machines. It was quite efficient to assist two staff members at one time.  We stopped this practice and moved to a different location on campus where we have a fit test machine in each exam room requiring 1:1 ratio which was clearly better practice to avoid spreading COVID during a fit test.

Since the pandemic is over, is it possible to go back to fit testing more than one person per room?  What are other facilities doing?

 

Thanks in advance for your responses,
