In a warehouse in Washington, D.C., masks are sprayed with hydrogen peroxide vapor in a process that is part of a government-sponsored program to decontaminate and reuse what is normally single-use personal protective equipment, according to an article on The Washington Post website.
The system is part of efforts in the D.C. area and across the country to reuse personal protective gear .
The shortages have persisted largely as a result of supply chain failures, including the availability of materials.
Plus, some hospitals are stockpiling personal protective equipment amid concerns about future waves of the coronavirus.
