Am I correct in assuming that the kits destroyed were never sent to NYPD, or is there any overlap?
From: New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation
Hi Vanessa - your emails keep getting caught in our spam filter, so I started a new thread to hopefully avoid that happening again.
Regarding your follow up question (below), your assumption is correct, there is no overlap.
Thanks,
