Federal officials have promised to ease restrictions on a technology used to clean and reuse masks, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said.
“They’re only approved a fraction of what we can do,” DeWine said during the press conference.
"The FDA's decision to severely limit the use of this life-saving technology is nothing short of reckless," DeWine said."Battelle's innovative technology has the capability to protect healthcare professionals and first responders in Ohio and across the country, but in this time of crisis, the FDA has decided not to support those who are risking their lives to save others.“
