On Sunday, members of the National Guard delivered a pallet of personal protective equipment from the Iowa Department of Public Health to Woodbury County.
Emergency Management Coordinator, Rebecca Socknat says the gowns, surgical masks, gloves and even foot coverings will be distributed to medical providers and first responders like police officers and fire fighters.
And, more is needed as the pandemic continues.
“With the protocols that are in in place to protect the personnel we’re going to use all of the PPE because it is disposable.”
