COVID-19 pandemic brought a new set of terms to the spotlight. Via my email with Lindsay Cowell, Barry Smith, John Beverley, Shane Babcock dated April 28,2020, following terms were agreed to be added into IDO:

  1. "social distancing"
  2. "hand washing"
  3. "wearing facial mask"

In the email, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) as an IDO term candidate was also discussed. Lindsay Cowell said "Regarding PPE, I agree with the exception that some PPE I think are only for infectious diseases. The PPE worn to treat a SARS-CoV-2 or ebola infected person, for example, exceeds what is worn for surgery."

We all agreed to submit above 3 terms to the issue track in order to track the term updates for IDO.

That's great. Heads up also that we're bringing in a swath of personal protective equipment in OBI. So wearing facial mask can reference "facial mask".

Ok, We'd appreciate your review then! They are at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FkC7p0vLbdoYoUgPMUhlvpHo26RqrP9FuUoXyQdrHGM/edit#gid=90525156, OBI tab, line 9-35. Are there more that should be added?

Lindsay, I agree with you. In FDA's regulatory view, the respirator is totally different with mask.

Thanks folks for your help. N95 mask is now N95 Respirator. I guess "N95 mask" is ok as a broad synonym, to facilitate text-mining? However, OBI doesn't use broad/narrow etc synonym. It only has "alternate term".

I'll check out your specimen/collection terms.
