The Indiana Economic Development Corporation has secured commitments for more than 6.3 million pieces of personal protective equipment for hospitals, first responders, long-term care facilities, and health care providers treated COVID-19 patients.
Governor Eric Holcomb announced on Friday that 2.9 million items are being made and sourced by 18 Indiana manufacturers. Those items include face masks, face shields, gloves, gowns, goggles, and bottles of hand sanitizer.
Areas with smaller quantities of personal protective equipment are encouraged to donate items to the nearest local health department, hospital, EMS agency, nursing home or other first responder agency in the community.
