Lack of surgical gowns 'real concern': NYC mayor

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Monday that some of the private hospitals and nursing homes are running low on surgical gowns and it was a 'real concern' going into this week, but added that local companies at the Brooklyn Navy Yard were manufacturing gowns and other personal protective equipment in an 'amazing contribution'.

NYC Mayor de Blasio said that by the end of the month 320,000 surgical gowns will be made, which would be an 'amazing contribution to this effort'.

But he stressed that surgical gowns were still in short supply.

He said that the supply for N95 masks were 'sufficiently secure' this week.
