KAP is encouraging all producers with personal protective equipment that is not required for spring work to donate to the Manitoba health system.
As Manitoba’s health system continues with preparations to ensure our province is prepared to meet the needs of our patients and to ensure appropriate protection from COVID-19 is available to health-care workers, donations of supplies are now welcome and greatly appreciated. Many farmers carry a stock of N95-grade respiratory masks to protect themselves from fumes and grain dust.
