Nurses protest at White House

20:40, 21.04.2020

Members of National Nurses United are holding protest outside the White House in a push for adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) as they fight the coronavirus.

The country’s largest nurses union is urging the president to fund mass production of necessary gear in the next stimulus package and to utilize the Defense Production Act to ramp up PPE manufacturing.

Nurses in New York have also filed three lawsuits that allege “grossly inadequate and negligent protections.”

“Don’t call me a hero,” a New York City nurse told Business Insider. “Instead, show your support by believing us when we say we need much more PPE.”
