LA Mayor Garcetti tells everyone in Los Angeles to start wearing masks to combat the coronavirus, but California’s governor isn’t ready to take that idea statewide.
President Donald Trump at Wednesday's briefing denied that the U.S. Agency for International Development was ordered to suspend shipments of protective equipment, or PPE, abroad, saying it was “not true.” But a USAID email obtained by NBC News makes clear that the administration has ordered a freeze on all shipments of personal protective gear overseas and that agency staff were told not to make public references to those shipments or post about them on social media.
The March 23 email titled,"Worldwide Pause on PPE Shipments and Outreach," from a senior USAID official sent out to communications officers and other staff members at the agency states: “There is a worldwide pause on PPE shipments. As such, we have been directed to hold on all communications about PPE and USAID. Therefore, please do not post any further PPE photos on social media given that many U.S. hospitals lack PPE.
The suspension described in last week's email still stands, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News.
