As COVID-19 spreads across the United States, hospitals are running out of masks, gowns and eye protection. New supplies aren’t being made fast enough to keep up with demand, and stockpiles seem insufficient.

On March 13, 2020, The President of the United States declared a national emergency, allowing the use of powers granted by the National Emergencies Act. This gives the Secretary of Health and Human Services “the power to waive certain federal licensing requirements so that health professionals from other states can provide services in states with the greatest need.”

As the Pandemic is spreading across the country, it is advised to stay home and self-quarantine. Doing so can prevent the spread of the virus and protect those who are vulnerable from coming in contact. If you are infected and reap the symptoms, obviously rest, drink lots of fluids and take care of yourself. But if you are self-quarantined at home for a prolonged period of time, it is important to keep your mind, body and soul active and healthy. LET’S STAY SANE YA’LL.
