[left-of-center2012]

Hundreds of thousands of masks went missing from federal shipments containing the equipment to Michigan as the state continues to battle the rising number of COVID-19 cases, state officials said.

State officials (said) that they were 225,000 surgical masks short of what the federal government said it sent from the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS).

The state was supposed to receive 450,000 masks, but it obtained about half of that, a spokeswoman from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services told the news outlet.

The spokeswoman, Lynn Sutfin (said) that the shipments are “nowhere near enough.”
