Pinal County’s Emergency Management and Public Health departments are working full time on keeping track of coronavirus cases and parceling out supplies from the shipment of medical equipment the county got from the federal stockpile.
Pinal County Emergency Management Director Charles Kmet said the county, like the state, got about 75% of the supplies it asked for from the federal Strategic National Stockpile.
The equipment arrived in Arizona at the end of March and included 1.2 million medical supplies, according to Gov. Doug Ducey’s office. The supplies include masks, face shields, gowns, coveralls, gloves and a federal medical station for the Navajo Nation.
