    On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated “coronavirus disease 2019” (Covid-19) a global pandemic. As the number of cases in the United States continues to grow, political leaders are encouraging physical (or “social”) distancing to slow the rate of transmission. The goal of this practice is to flatten the curve of new infection, thereby avoiding a surge of demand on the health care system, but the effects of physical distancing may take weeks to appear. U.S. hospitals are already reporting shortages of key equipment needed to care for critically ill patients, including ventilators and personal protective equipment (PPE) for medical staff. Adequate production and distribution of both types of equipment are crucial to caring for patients during the pandemic.

    • Sourcing Personal Protective Equipment During the COVID-19 Pandemic Edward Livingston, MD1; Angel Desai, MD, MPH1; Michael Berkwits, MD, MSCE1 Author Affiliations Article Information JAMA. Published online March 28, 2020. doi:10.1001/jama.2020.5317 As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic accelerates, global health care systems have become overwhelmed with potentially infectious patients seeking testing and care. Preventing spread of infection to and from health care workers (HCWs) and patients relies on effective use of personal protective equipment (PPE)—gloves, face masks, air-purifying respirators, goggles, face shields, respirators, and gowns. A critical shortage of all of these is projected to develop or has already developed in areas of high demand. PPE, formerly ubiquitous and disposable in the hospital environment, is now a scarce and precious commodity in many locations when it is needed most to care for highly infectious patients. An increase in PPE supply in response to this new demand will require a large increase in PPE manufacturing, a process that will take time many health care systems do not have, given the rapid increase in ill COVID-19 patients.

    • Urgent dental care for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic Manas Dave，Noha Seoudi，Paul Coulthard Published:April 03, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30806-0 During the initial phase of a pandemic, when a vaccine is not available, personal protective equipment (PPE)1 plays a major part in disease control. Dental and oral surgery procedures using drills or ultrasonic devices cause aerosol release, and routine dentistry has therefore been suspended in several countries, including the UK, to reduce virus transmission. There is an urgent need for organised emergency dental care delivered by teams provided with appropriate PPE.2 This also allows for redistribution of PPE to urgent care when there is inevitably an initial shortage and distribution challenge.
