IRVING, Texas - McKesson has put restrictions in place for personal protective equipment, including limiting orders to only current customers and monitoring how much they're ordering. “Unfortunately, customers may not be able to get enough PPE from McKesson to satisfy their needs,” the company stated in an update. “The demand for PPE continues to increase daily in the U.S., compounding the unprecedented global surge in demand for these items that started in late January. In addition to the increase in need, production delays from manufacturers in China continue to impact both current inventory and how quickly resupply can become available in our distribution centers.” McKesson says it is committed to getting critical supplies to customers, working with government agencies like the HHS, CDC and FEMA.
