The Ministry of Health and Wellness today received a total of over 7,000 facial masks to aid in the fight against COVID-19.
Singer Jamaica handed over 3,000 masks to the Ministry to promote mask-wearing and for distribution to various communities.
Sharon Spence-Gibbs, general manager at Singer Jamaica, indicated that the company is aiming to donate 20 sewing machines to aid in providing the less fortunate with the means to produce facial masks for protection against the COVID-19.
“It is an initiative from Singer International, and you know we are located across the world; so what we are trying to do is to help institutions that are interested in making masks because they would like to donate masks to the cause.
“In some communities, persons can’t afford masks, and with the initiative they could probably partner with fabric companies.
