Hunterdon County Freeholder Matt Holt reported at a recent meeting the return of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to county schools that stepped up after a call for help from first responders and medical providers, facing a critical shortage of the necessary safety equipment, at the beginning of the public health emergency.
Freeholder Holt, Hunterdon County Public Safety Liaison, said, “Back in the darkest days of the pandemic, at the very beginning, when most of us had not heard of PPE’s, the county’s first responders and medical providers were desperately seeking this protective equipment so they could do their jobs saving lives.
Several county schools came to the rescue, donating N95 and surgical masks, goggles, gowns, gloves and other equipment.”
