@JimIrsay
Just procured 10,000+ masks ( N-95) and am passing them along to Indiana State Dept. of Health for distribution as most urgently needed.#INthistogether
The state of Indiana has seen a surge in positive cases recently, and as of Sunday morning, there were 4,411 positive cases reported, with 127 total deaths due to complications from the novel coronavirus.
There is a national shortage of N95 masks and other necessary personal protective equipment, so the effort by Irsay to supply the state with masks is certainly timely.
