of Ohio, continues to offer PPE at no charge to local libraries for their visitors and staff. The Ohio Department of Health purchased the PPE with federal CARES Act funds for the purpose of responding to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The State Library does not administer the survey or coordinate distribution of the PPE.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">ODH plans to fulfill all current requests from libraries by early next week. There remains a supply of masks available for shipment (or local pick up from their warehouse).
The items that ODH has the most of are 3M KN-95 disposable non-surgical masks (cases of 500) and Honeywell N-95 disposable N-95 masks (cases of 200). ODH also has a lot of surgical gowns of various types.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
