Supply chains are struggling to build personal protective equipment inventory, with 77% of respondents saying they have no supply remaining for one of more types of PPE, according to Get Us PPE’s August shortage index. Get Us PPE is a nonprofit that distributes PPE donations. The index, which the nonprofit says is the largest of its kind, is based on a database of requests the organization receives. The three most requested items in Get Us PPE’s database in August were N95 respirators, disinfecting wipes and surgical masks, the organization said. |
