The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) continues its mission to support workers who are performing essential tasks in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cal OES has sent 71.4 million surgical masks to critical sectors during this ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here are the latest numbers of surgical masks to critical sectors as of June 24, 2020:
Are masks available to emergency animal care workers? I am a member of the Board of Directors of the Amador County Animal Response Team (ACART). We operate emergency animal shelters in support of residents who are forced to evacuate with their animals during wildfire and other disaster events. Many of our volunteers are in vulnerable groups. Shelter operation necessitiates frequent and sometimes long exposure to unscreened individuals. A supply of masks would be beneficial in preventing the spread of COVID-19 among our volunteer population.
