G/2020/516, 15 July 2020 (enclosed) 1. At Reference A, the Board approved the General Manager's request for a blanket authorisation, ending 30 June 2020, for the supply of materiel originating from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in support of requests related to COVID-19 containment efforts. 2. At Reference B, the General Manager sought the ASB's agreement to extend the current authorisation to 31 December 2020, but the United States was unable to approve the document and broke silence, indicating they could agree to an extension until 30 September 2020 in order to give Allies and NSPA time to find alternative suppliers. This proposal was approved by the Board at Reference C. 3. In light of the above, the Agency has initiated negotiations with those companies that have been awarded outline agreements for the procurement of Personal Protective Equipment, with the aim of identifying new sources of supply outside PRC to cope with future requirements. 4. With the letter at Reference D, the Agency is seeking to invite Nations to identify their national manufacturers of PPE products (as listed at Annex) in order to support Nations’ requirements by competing and awarding future contracts with firms located within NATO Nations.

AC/338-D(2020)0049, 20 March 2020 B. AC/338-D(2020)0049-REV2-AS1, 30 June 2020 Mister Chairman, This letter is intended for all ASB members. I would be grateful if you could issue it accordingly. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, NSPA conducted international competitive bidding with NATO Nation sources for the supply of a range of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The Request for Proposals were openly published on the NSPA website. Responses from the market indicated a heavy reliance on PPE supplies originating from the People's Republic of China (PRC). Consequently, at Reference A, the Agency requested and received ASB authorization to supply materiel originating from PRC in support of COVID-19 containment efforts until 30 June 2020. Therefore, the established Outline Agreements and Purchase Orders are with NATO Nations based brokers who are supplied, mostly, from Chinese manufacturers. In an effort to continue to support customers' COVID-19 requirements through the end to 2020, the Agency requested to extend the ASB's authorisation to source this materiel from PRC until 31 December, but the extension was granted until 30 September 2020 (Reference B). The Agency is aware of the rapid evolution of the PPE market, its constraints and its volatility, as well as the efforts developed by countries worldwide to become self-sufficient and radically reduce their dependence on various pharmaceutical supplies originating from PRC. These efforts, sometimes subsidized by public funds, attract export restrictions on these goods if not an outright ban of their sales abroad. Since 24 June 2020, NSPA has identified 44 NATO Nation based PPE manufacturers. Besides this, the Agency has initiated negotiations with those companies which have been awarded PPE outline agreements with the purpose of identifying new sources of supply outside PRC and, wherever possible, within NATO Nations on acceptable price and availability terms. The NSPA Country Liaison Officers have been solicited to identify possible sources of supply in their L-8302 Capellen (G.-D. of Luxembourg) Internet: www.nspa.nato.int I E-mail: [email protected] - Tel.: (+352) 3063 6501 - Fax: (+352) 307858 NATO UNCLASSIFIED NATO UNCLASSIFIED G/2020/516 respective countries. If the second wave has a magnitude comparable to the first one, these sources may not be enough to cope with the requirements generated. The Agency would therefore welcome your assistance in identifying and allowing access to your national manufacturers of PPE - no brokers - for the supplies listed in Annex I hereto. The submission of your national PPE specifications would further help NSPA to compete these requirements to establish new contractual Agreements with no content originating from PRC. Even a limited fraction of the national production would be of interest for the Agency, who would then fully play its role of a consolidating agent. Your contributions will be welcomed before 15 August 2020, please, using the following email address ([email protected] ). ?~vG/4UM- Peter DOHMEN General Manager NATO UNCLASSIFIED -2- NATO UNCLASSIFIED ANNEX G/2020/516 Line Item Description 1 Hand sanitizer, disinfectant foam, gel or liquid format Disinfection wet wipe with registered pesticide active ingredient against viruses and 2 bacteria 3 Surgical gloves sterile, latex, powder free (size 7 - 7,5 - 8) 4 Medical examination gloves, non sterile, latex, powder free (size S - M - L - XL) 5 Medical examination gloves, non sterile, nitrile, powder free (size S - M - L - XL) 6 Respirator face mask, with EN149 FFP2 certification protection 7 Respirator face mask, with EN149 FFP3 certification protection 8 Procedural face mask, disposable, with flat easy on/off ear loops 9 Surgical face mask, disposable, with tie-on horizontal ties (EN14683 any type) Surgical face mask Type II - EN 14683 masks are appropriate for situations where exposure to blood 10 and/or bodily fluids from the patient or work environment is not a risk for the healthcare worker.

    Philippine COVID-19 Living Clinical Practice Guidelines Institute of Clinical Epidemiology, National Institutes of Health, UP Manila In cooperation with the Philippine Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Funded by the DOH AHEAD Program through the PCHRD EVIDENCE SUMMARY Among health care workers how effective is the use of personal protective equipment in the wards, ICU, and emergency room in the prevention of COVID 19 infection? Evidence Reviewers: Germana Emerita V. Gregorio, MD, Rowena F. Genuino, MD, MSc, Howell Henrian G Bayona, MSc, CSP-PASP PPE in Hospital RECOMMENDATION We recommend the use of the following PPE: disposable hat, medical protective mask (N95 or higher standard), goggles or face shield (anti-fog), medical protective clothing, disposable gloves and disposable shoe covers or dedicated closed footwear as an effective intervention in the prevention of COVID-19 among health care workers in areas with possible direct patient care of COVID-19 positive patients and aerosol generating procedures. (Moderate quality of evidence; Strong recommendation) Consensus Issues Direct patient care1 is defined as hands on, face-to-face contact with patients for the purpose of diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. This recommendation was made by the panel as it prioritized giving the best available protection to the healthcare workers. Whenever possible, hospital administrators should invest in these PPEs. Strict adherence to the appropriate use of PPEs must be observed even if healthcare workers have already been vaccinated against COVID-19. 1 National Center for Emerging, Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases- Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion.

  • AHD COVID-19 School Nurses
    COVID-19 Information for School Nurses What is COVID-19 (2019 novel coronavirus)? The Anchorage Health Department (AHD) is monitoring an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The virus, first detected in China in December 2019, spreads from person-to-person and has the potential to cause severe illness and death. Four well-known strains of coronaviruses regularly circulate in human populations globally and are a frequent cause of upper respiratory infections. COVID-19 is new, so it’s called novel coronavirus. What is occuring in Alaska? AHD is working with local, state, and federal healthcare partners in response to the COVID-19 outbreak in China. There are no confirmed cases in Anchorage or Alaska. The Anchorage Health Department is coordinating with schools, hospitals, local healthcare partners and the emergency medical system to ensure a uniform and swift response if a case is suspected or identified in Anchorage. How does the COVID-19 virus spread? Much is unknown about how COVID-19 spreads. Current knowledge is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses. Other coronaviruses spread from an infected person to others through: respiratory droplets via coughing and sneezing, close personal contact such as touching or shaking hands, touching an object or surface with the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes. What are the symptoms of COVID-19? Fever >100.4°F Cough Shortness of Breath Symptoms include fever (>100.4°F), cough and shortness of breath and may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure.
