<a href="https://www.oregon4biz.com/Coronavirus-Information/PPE.php" target="_blank">https://www.oregon4biz.com/Coronavirus-Information/PPE.php</a> is now live on Business Oregon’s website:
<a href="http://www.oregon4biz.com" target="_blank">www.oregon4biz.com</a>. It is a list of PPE manufacturers or distributors they collected that may be helpful for Oregon small businesses to source from as they ready to reopen. These companies have provided the information
to Business Oregon, but they have not independently verified company capabilities or inventories. People need to contact these companies directly if they are interested in purchasing or working with them. Business Oregon’s next step will be the Connectory
resource which will also be live soon. The Connectory is a larger list that includes more businesses up and down the supply chain of PPE manufacturing and distribution, while this list is focused on companies that can provide PPE in smaller quantities directly
to small business right now as they work to reopen.<u></u><u></u></li></ul>
