Healthcare providers are experiencing serious shortages of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that put them in danger, both of becoming sick themselves and transmitting the COVID-19 coronavirus infection to patients and family members.
The city is in urgent need of surgical masks, N95 masks, and isolation gowns to help stop transmission of this disease.
We are asking everyone who may be able to donate these critical items to please contact us by filling out a form on our site www.phila.gov/ppe-donation.
