DuPont donates PPE to frontline workers
The manufacturer of PPE has donated 50,000 protective garments in Europe’s most affected countries.
The Tyvek coveralls that are part of the donation will give medical staff added protection against coronavirus which exceeds the World Health Organization (WHO) requirements.
The beneficiaries of the donation include various public healthcare organisations in Italy, Spain, France, Germany, the UK, Switzerland and BeNeLux. These include Lombardy’s Azienda Regionale Emergenza Urgenza and the London Ambulance Service.
DuPont Tyvek hooded coveralls fulfil the requirements of EN 14126:2003 (protective clothing against infective agents) and have been widely used by frontline task forces for many years during the most serious outbreaks like Ebola, Bird Flu or H1N1.
