The director of Oregon’s Office of Emergency Management says they are exploring every possible avenue to keep acquiring Personal Protective Equipment for first responders. Andrew Phelps says they are doing procurement themselves at the state level, working with federal sources, and taking donations. Phelps said they’ll keep buying PPE for as long as it takes to meet the need, but adds it’s not easy to find. He added they will keep buying PPE where they can until told by those who use it that they have everything they need. Monday the Oregon Health Authority reported 58 new cases of COVID-19, bring the statewide total to 606.
