Revised Processes: Personal Protective Equipment Ordering and COVID-19 Testing

Revised Processes: Personal Protective Equipment Ordering and COVID-19 Testing

The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) coordinated with the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) to revise how PPE needs will be identified.

On April 19, 2020, the SEOC began distributing a survey to all Washington state long-term care facilities and agencies. The SEOC will provide survey response information to your local emergency management agency (EMA), who will then arrange delivery and set up an ongoing ordering process. Please see ALTSA Dear Provider Letter for more information.
