Huawei has been continuously helping severely affected nations by COVID-19 virus around the world by donating personal protecting equipment (PPE). The latest country to receive aid from the Chinese telecom giant is Canada in the form of masks, goggles, and gloves.
Huawei has quietly donated more than a million masks, 30,000 goggles, and 50,000 pairs of gloves to Canada. The North American country is currently facing a shortage of PPE supplies like other harshly affected countries. This is mostly because a large global supply of PPE is manufactured in China and those factories were closed during the coronavirus outbreak in the country.
According to the source, Huawei has plans to donate six million masks to Canada, however, out of which, only 200,000 units will be N95 masks. As of now, over a million masks have been already received by the country as mentioned earlier. The remaining units are expected to be delivered soon.
Earlier in February, Canada donated 16 tonnes of PPE to China when the coronavirus outbreak was in its peak in the country. Now, as China is slowly recovering, it has started helping other nations in need. A number of Chinese companies like Huawei, Alibaba, Bank of China, Tencent, Trip.com, and others have been donating PPE and funds.
