SUBJECT:

Critical Equipment Needs for Clinical Care Related to COVID-19

Local and national media have reported widely on a shortage of critical
supplies and equipment that health care providers and first responders
require during the COVID-19 emergency. UC San Diego calls upon all
researchers and relevant facilities to come together to respond and
reduce this shortage in San Diego by making specific otherwise unused
equipment and materials available to the UC San Diego Health System.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT is critically important, specifically:
Medical-grade Procedure and surgical masks, surgical and
isolation/protective gowns, arm sleeves, goggles, eye shields and face
shields.

To send supplies to UC San Diego Health, contact Robbie Jacob with UC
San Diego Logistics at gjacob@ucsd.edu to request pick-up from your
location. Please note supply type and quantity, as well as location, in
your email.

Please create an inventory of all items provided, and track all costs if
appropriate. This will enable reimbursements and facilitate requests for
supplements to grants.

Thank you in advance for your invaluable and time sensitive
contributions as we all pull together in response to the current crisis!
