CHARLESTON, W.Va. West Virginia hopes to be self-sufficient when it comes to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the very near future.
Retired state Adjutant General Jim Hoyer said he anticipates approval later this month of West Virginia’s own N95 respirator mask.
“We think that by the 18th of January we’ll have the final approvals on our N95 equivalent masks and it is already in production. We’re already producing copies of it waiting on filter approval,” Hoyer said.
The masks and other PPE are being produced by the National Guard at the ‘Running Right’ facility in Boone County.
