The FBI has ordered $40,000 of hand sanitizer and face masks in case the coronavirus becomes a pandemic in the United States, according to an article on the CNBC website.
In its purchase order, the FBI said it needs to have those items on hand if the coronavirus spreads widely throughout the U.S.
The masks and disinfectants “are to be stored throughout the country for distribution in the event of a declared pandemic,” according to the document.
While the coronavirus has spread to more than two dozen countries, international health officials say there’s little transmission on local levels outside of China right now. But they’ve warned that could quickly change, the article said.
