European Chamber Donates 10,000 Masks to Medical Institutions in Spain and Italy

In March 2020, the European Chamber received two generous donations of surgical masks from the China Center for the Promotion of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and the Shandong Department of Commerce. As the COVID-19 outbreak gripped most of Europe, we decided that—in the same way Europe had come to China’s support in February—we wanted to give back and make our own modest contribution to the fight against COVID-19 in the home of our member companies and some of our colleagues.

This is why, with the kind patronage of Clevy Links for international shipping, the Chamber is donating 10,000 surgical masks to three medical institutions in Spain and Italy. Our choice of destinations has been driven not only by the fact that Spain and Italy have been hit the hardest by the outbreak, but also because the mothers of two of our beloved staff members, Pablo and Federica, are medical professionals in the institutions we will be delivering the donations to. We as a Chamber want to show our support to them and to all the other healthcare workers risking their lives in the midst of this pandemic to save others.
