More than 40 Florida hospitals are facing staffing shortages as infections and hospitalizations continue to rise, fueled by the omicron variant of the coronavirus.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there is a severe shortage of medical supplies around the world. Harbor Freight announced on Sunday the company is donating its entire supply of personal protective equipment to hospitals. Customers can also email hospitalhelp@harborfreight.com to identify a hospital that might be in need and the company’s team can follow up. Once the donation need has been granted, Harbor Freight will email the hospital a voucher to pick up the supplies from a local store. “Although we don’t have enough of these supplies to fill everyone’s needs, we’re going to donate everything we’ve got,” Smidt concluded the letter.

Crucial medical supplies needed to fight the coronavirus are running dangerously low in hospitals. If you need help with the Public File, call 407-291-6000.
