Andrew Morgan, chief executive of United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT), says: "We have sufficient PPE in the trust, at the moment.
"On occasion it has got a bit close to some of those supplies getting very short, almost occasionally to within a day of running out of some of those particular bits of equipment."
Mr Morgan has also revealed that the trust anticipates a surge in coronavirus cases in the next two weeks.
The trust already has plans in place to deal with these across its sites at Lincoln, Grantham and Boston, he says.
Currently, 16 patients are using ventilators at ULHT sites, but it has capacity for 80, according to the trust.

The message has been echoed by fire services in North and West Yorkshire - as well as in Lincolnshire, where releasing sky lanterns was recently banned on public land.
