SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The federal court for the central district of Illinois has emptied its closets in the fight against COVID-19.
U.S. District Court officials say courts throughout the district donated nearly 500 protective masks to healthcare providers aiding those affected by the illness caused by the coronavirus. The lot included 175 N95 masks thought to be optimal in blocking transmission of the virus.
Masks are among the personal protective equipment so in demand worldwide during the pandemic.
