Naloxone and Covid-19

From the 1st of June 2023 if the person is not breathing and the person responding is comfortable providing rescue breaths the CPR response can revert to pre-covid guidelines of administering chest compressions and rescue breaths. Responders can continue to provide compression-only CPR after the 1st of June 2023 where they consider there to be a risk, or they are not comfortable providing rescue breaths.
