HHS officials said the supplies were not distributed according to the needs of states, according to the House Oversight Committee.
HHS also told the oversight committee that there was no more personal protective equipment, or PPE, that could be distributed to the states because the Trump administration had already sent out its last shipments.
Each state received at least three shipments of PPE and supplies from the federal government, according to the report. However, in the last shipment to states, labeled as the “final push,” some states received the same amount of supplies despite having vastly different populations. The committee warned that the depleted national stockpile leaves states with ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks in a dangerous position.
