Health care workers protest in California

Santa Monica: Health care workers and nurses protest the lack of N95 respirators and other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while guarding social distancing guidelines outside the UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica amid the coronavirus pandemic in Santa Monica, Calif., Monday, April 13, 2020. California Gov. Gavin Newsom said his state, the nation's most populous, plans to spend nearly $1 billion to buy 500 million masks from May through July with the idea of distributing them throughout the Western U.S. State officials have said they won't be setting up a new supply chain, but rather sharing with states that have a high need. California had spent $1.4 billion on medical equipment even before announcing its ramped-up purchases. /AP-PTI
