The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) confirmed that urgently needed medical supplies like masks are now being shipped to hospitals from the U.S. national stockpile.

“They’re shipping today, they shipped yesterday, they’ll ship tomorrow,” FEMA administrator Peter Gaynor told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. The agency has declared New York state, which has the most confirmed CCP virus cases in the country, a major disaster area last week.
