You've probably seen all over the news and social media that there is a shortage of PPE (personal protective equipment) for medical workers across the globe. According to the WHO, this was caused by misuse, panic buying, and hoarding of materials. People have even been reported stealing masks from hospitals themselves, the places that need them the most right now. Unfortunately, many health care workers are forced to reuse their PPE, which is a gamble.
Other businesses that use PPE have started donating their own stock, such at tattoo parlos and medical programs.
