Governor Tom Wolf is asking manufacturuers in Pennsylvania to alert the state to their capabilities as it relates to producing supplies needed in the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic.
“We’re asking everyone to do their part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including ensuring that our health care system is prepared to care for patients and that there is access to critical personal protective equipment and products as more individuals and businesses take preventive measures,” Wolf said. “Throughout our commonwealth’s history, our manufacturing sector has answered the call to move us forward and contributed tremendously in times of turbulence. I call upon our private sector to be a part of the solution to this crisis.”
The administration set up a "Pennsylvania Manufacturing Call To Action Portal" to help identify bussinesses that may, in some way, be able to help supply or produce COVID-19 related products.
“We must take every step to protect our health care workers and frontline responders from COVID-19, and provide them with the necessary equipment to help patients,” Wolf said. “We cannot rely on the federal government alone to provide us with necessary equipment. We must tap our own valuable resources, including our manufacturing sector, to help our health care workers save Pennsylvanians’ lives.”
