The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced that it has identified approximately 225,000 pieces of personal protective equipment available to support the COVID-19 response.

“EPA is working hard to support our nation’s first responders as they risk their own safety to save lives during the coronavirus pandemic,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler.  “After searching our inventory of personal protective equipment, we identified excess supplies and sent them to those on the frontlines of this fight.  At EPA we are here to help in any way we can and I encourage everyone else to do the same.”
