A donation campaign has been set up to collect personal protective equipment (PPE) and supplies for local health-care providers in Simcoe County and Muskoka amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “We are calling on our community to help ensure the supply of PPE and medical supplies meets the demand over the coming weeks,” Charles Gardner, the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit’s medical officer of health, said in a statement.
Simcoe County, Muskoka District and the local health unit are looking for new and unused N95 and surgical masks, face shields, protective goggles or safety glasses, nitrile gloves, reusable or disposable gowns, medical thermometers, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes with a DIN number or bleach cleaner, and hand soap.
