Efforts Underway to Get Mobile COVID-19 Testing Sites Up and Running

A consortium of businesses is now partnering with the state to get mobile COVID-19 testing sites up and running. As part of the effort, they are looking for avenues to purchase PPE gear that supplements the State's other efforts to do so. The consortium would be willing to buy masks and shields that dentists have available at a reasonable mark up to help dentists in a small way during this time, but also to procure the resources. Please send information about supplies for PPE (face shields, masks, etc) that you have available to Gen. Les Carroll at info@openhealthllc.com.
