The United States won't be providing Canada with any more N95 respirators, effective immediately. U.S.-based company 3M which supplies the respirators will no longer.
Donald Trump has ordered the company based in Minnesota to produce and sell as many medical-grade masks as the Federal Emergency Management Agency says it needs.
If you have some extra N95 respirators, the Manitoba government is encouraging you to donate them.
They are also urging Canadians to donate the following:
-Surgical/procedure masks.
-Gloves.
-Disposable gowns.
-Disinfectants and cleaners.
Supplies must be in the original packaging, clean and in useable condition.
Expired supplies are not able to be accepted.
For more information on donating, you can call (toll-free) 1-833-408-0101 or visit donate.
