Caregivers are on the front lines of fighting coronavirus, but they sometimes lack the equipment to do it, especially if they're working on location instead of at a nursing home.
One woman says staff in nursing homes and at the homes of disabled Iowans are in just in dire of a need for things like gloves and masks as workers in a hospital, if not even more.
"This isn't your traditional day at work," Di Findley, leader of Iowa Caregivers, said. "People are not accustomed to using personal protective equipment, so it's really important that they are trainer or have some sort of guidance on how to use it and protect themselves and the people they are serving."
Right now, hospitals and nursing homes are taking precedent in delivery of personal protective equipment.
