UPS Donating Respirator Masks to Georgia Hospitals
17 Avril 2020 - 6:00PM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced the donation
of 10,000 N95 respirator masks to hospitals across the state of
Georgia. UPS has procured a sufficient supply to meet internal
needs and is sharing its available masks to help protect healthcare
providers in Atlanta and in hospitals statewide. The UPS global
headquarters is in Atlanta.
The 10,000 masks were delivered on April 16 to
Georgia’s Emergency Management Agency in Atlanta for distribution
to hospitals statewide.
“Ensuring that our frontline healthcare workers
have the critical supplies that they need to fight COVID-19 is one
of our top priorities,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “UPS is an
invaluable member of Georgia’s business community and an important
partner in the fight against the virus, and I want to thank them
for their willingness to step up and ensure heroes working in
medical facilities across the state have these protective masks as
they continue to care for Georgians.”
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.
“With more than 15,700 dedicated UPSers across
the state, we are grateful for the opportunity to help the doctors,
nurses and others who are on the front lines fighting the
coronavirus pandemic in Georgia,” UPS South Atlantic District
President Derrick Johnson said.
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
