State To Receive Federal PPE Shipment Tuesday

Oregon’s Emergency Management Director says they expected to receive a new shipment of Personal Protective Equipment from the federal government sometime today.  Andrew Phelps said during a news conference that once it is processed at OEM’s warehouse in Wilsonville, it will be pushed out to counties and tribes and numbers on what was actually received will be released.  Phelps said no matter how much PPE the state receives in this shipment, he knows they will need more.  He added continued social distancing efforts to help flatten the curve of virus transmission helps extend their supply.  Phelps noted the state has received private donations of 200-thousand gloves, 100-thousand surgical masks, and five-thousand N-95 masks.
