The governor sent a letter to Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar.

She requested that the federal government expedite the release of PPE from the Strategic National Stockpile.

The governor pushed for “a steady and reliable supply” of testing materials as the outbreak intensifies.
