Healthcare workers have immediate need for facemasks

Healthcare workers have such a need for facemasks that the the Agency of Commerce and Community Development is reaching out to manufacturers and construction companies with a supply of N95 facemasks to consider assisting in the state’s response to the COVID-19 virus by making these masks available to healthcare providers immediately. N95 facemasks are a critical tool needed to ensure our healthcare professionals are able to provide care to those most impacted by the virus. These masks have become increasingly difficult to procure, and are urgently needed in healthcare facilities. If your company is able to support the state’s response to COVID-19, contact the State Emergency Operations Center as soon as possible at (800) 347-0488.
