Hand sanitizer

​We have PLENTY of hand sanitizer to share with regional services.  Chris Matek (copied) is the duty chief this weekend and can arrange to get it (all-the-way, halfway, part-of-the-way) to services that need some.  Our only request is that the services return empty bottles to us (or exchange empty bottles as they have them), and the supplier wants a patch from every service that he can get one from. 
 
The sanitizer is 80% v/v alcohol in water, H2O2, and glycerin.  It is FDA approved.
 
Please let us know if they need some.  Our 24/7 supervisor line is 507-646-1514.

Face shields

My name is Michael Brown I live in Stewartville and a local emergency medical responder. I have heard about shortages of PPE around the nation. I currently have over 3 dozen face shields built and assembled. I have attached a picture of what I have available and want to reach out to my local community first to see if they are needed here before sending them off to some other facility in need.


The construction is made up of a 3d printed frame fitted with a clear 7-8 mil thick poly shield. They could be disposed of as single use or easily taken apart and cleaned. I have the ability to make about 12-15 a day comfortably but could produce up to 24 a day if it is in desperate need. In addition, I have some possible connections to people that may be able and to add the this demand if it needed. 

As of right now, I am donating all face shields. Please let know ASAP either way.

I want to thank you and all the medical community for you do and wish everyone the best of health. 

Thanks again!

We've increased our capacity to 15,000/day and are now able to take on more work. If you know of any other departments or hospitals that may be in need, please share our website at:  https://www.covidfaceshields.com/
 
As you had suggested, we can now accept tax-exempt orders and we'll continue with a 1 box (qty 50) minimum for the smaller agencies. 
 
Again, thanks for all your assistance through this, it is very much appreciated.
 
Thank you!
