- Connecticut’s governor on Tuesday said the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile of medical supplies was now empty and the state was “on its own” trying to secure ventilators and masks to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
The stockpile is the country’s largest store of medical supplies for use in a crisis and for weeks governors have been clamoring for its dwindling stocks of face masks and other gear to protect frontline medics, first responders and patients. Connecticut has the fourth highest number of coronavirus cases per capita among U.S. states at over 3,000 and its virus deaths rose to 69 on Tuesday.
