VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Virginia Beach city officials announced Wednesday that they would be accepting donations of personal protective equipment for its front-line workers through the coronavirus pandemic.
The city is asking donors to fill out a form as part of the formal donation process, so officials can prioritize and organize drop-offs and pickups.

- Disinfecting cleaner approved for COVID use
- Eye protection (glasses and goggles)

- Hand sanitizer
- N95 Masks – large, medium, small, universal
