While the risk of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) remains low for the general public in the United States, as indicated by both the CDC and WHO, the outbreak poses a great threat to the U.S. healthcare supply chain. This risk is increasingly evident when it comes to the masks and respirators that healthcare providers depend on to deliver care. An interruption in the supply chain of these products poses a potential risk to our nation’s patient population and our dedicated caregivers and clinicians as controlling exposures to occupational hazards is a fundamental way to protect personnel.

Watch this on-demand webinar to hear from the Premier Disaster Response and Disruption Team as well as the Premier Safety Institute^® for an executive briefing on the state of supply chain surrounding COVID-19. The goal is to provide you with the latest updates on the impact of this disease in the U.S., specifics on the risk to our supply chain of PPE products and recommendations for limiting risk for our nation’s healthcare systems and their patient populations.
