Proper use of PPE

Are we using PPE in the right manner? I have heard from my peers who are serving as doctors in various hospitals that their authorities are compelling them to reuse PPE due to scarcity. But if that is done—despite it being disinfected—it beats the actual purpose of preventing the spread of the virus. As a result, a large number of doctors are purchasing their own gear from various online stores, and we are not even sure whether those PPE meet the actual safety standards. Also, there are no proper instructions about the disposal of contaminated PPE. It is time we took the proper use and disposal of PPE seriously, or else the consequences can be severe.
