Reading now: 710
An Irish group in New York is donating thousands of masks, gloves and protective suits to frontline hospital staff because some of them have to reuse the protective equipment they have and store in brown paper bags.
The lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) in New York has prompted the group Irish America in Support of Health Care Workers to collect gloves, suits and masks from construction companies and the general public for the city's frontline hospital staff.
This comes as some staff in some New York hospitals need to store PPE in brown paper bags and reuse them. New York state,one of the hardest states hit by the virus in America,has 150,000 cases and 6,268 deaths from the virus.
