“It’s a very interesting and trying time for a lot of people and something none of us have ever dealt with,” Enns said. “Being able to help out our medical professionals has definitely been great for us.”. While the find might have been a fluke, Enns is encouraging others to check their supplies.

Harvard Developments Inc. donated 2,880 N95 masks to the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) after finding a stockpile of supplies left over from the company’s response to the H1N1 outbreak in 2009.
“The first thought in our minds was do we need them? Now that we’ve found them, do we need them? Should we use them?” said Steve Enns, Harvard Developments Inc. property management vice-president.
The masks had been in storage for more than 10 years, but Enns said the SHA confirmed they will still work. Harvard delivered the masks earlier this week.

If there is anything people have that they can spare, they should consider donating it, too. “Building operators and property managers tend to be hoarders. We frequently keep everything we purchase just in case we might need it,” Enns said. “No doubt there are others that have squirreled stuff away in storage.”
Health officials caution against all international travel. Returning travellers are legally obligated to self-isolate for 14 days, beginning March 26, in case they develop symptoms and to prevent spreading the virus to others. Some provinces and territories have also implemented additional recommendations or enforcement measures to ensure those returning to the area self-isolate.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Get breaking National news
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
