UPS Donating 10,000 Respirator Masks to Wayne County Sheriff’s Department
16 Avril 2020 - 10:15PM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced the donation
of 10,000 N95 respirator masks to the Wayne County Sheriff’s
Department. UPS has procured a sufficient supply to meet internal
needs for its employees, and is sharing its available masks to help
protect healthcare providers and first responders.
“We couldn’t be happier to provide these masks
to the Sheriff’s department at a time when PPE of all kinds is in
desperate need by law enforcement and first responders across the
country,” said Carie Monroe, President, UPS Great Lakes
District.
UPS procured the masks from a variety of sources
and has the appropriate PPE necessary to protect its employees,
while also being able to donate hospital-grade protective equipment
to healthcare providers and law enforcement professionals.
The 10,000 masks were delivered on April 15th
for use by the Sheriff’s department.
“It’s no secret that Michigan’s essential
workers on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic are facing a
critical shortage of personal protective equipment,” said State
Rep. Tyrone Carter (D-Detroit). “As a retired sheriff’s officer, I
understand the danger that these brave men and women put themselves
in every day. This pandemic just added another deadly hazard to an
already dangerous job, but I’m thankful we were able to help lower
that risk today.”
Wayne County has the most confirmed cases of
COVID-19 in Michigan, accounting for over one-third of cases in the
state. Carter tested positive for COVID-19 in late March and has
since made a full recovery.
Designated by the governments of countries
around the world as a “critical infrastructure business,” UPS
deliveries are saving lives and livelihoods. The company offers its
heartfelt thanks to the 495,000 UPSers around the world, whose work
is essential during the pandemic, and who continue to deliver
safely every day.
