“Like all hospitals during this outbreak of COVID-19, the Cambridge Health Alliance is facing a shortage of medical supplies, including personal protective equipment,” said alliance spokesman David Cecere in an email. “This is an unprecedented and unpredictable crisis, and we are pursuing different avenues to bolster and preserve our supplies so that we can meet the critical need and support our frontline staff.”
“Specifically, Cecere said, the alliance is requesting N95 masks normally made by 3M or KC Duckbill, though CHA will accept any brand; paper masks with ties or elastic; and paper protective gowns.”
