Although the domestic epidemic situation has eased slightly, the global epidemic situation is still quite severe.

Recently, in response to the "Africa Mask Week" plan, BYD announced that it would donate160,000 masks to help African communities fight the second wave of COVID-19 epidemic. It is reported that the donated masks will be used in health clinics in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia.

At present, more than 2 million people in Africa have been diagnosed with COVID-19 virus, and the second wave of COVID-19 epidemic is threatening. However, the latest data show that the number of people wearing masks in Africa is decreasing. Many front-line medical personnel urgently need masks and other epidemic prevention materials to protect themselves when providing basic medical and health services to local communities. "Africa Mask Week" (165438+20201October 23-30) was organized by the African Center for Disease Control (Africa? CDC), African Union Youth Envoy Office (Africa? Union? Office? Yes? That? Youth? Special Envoy), African COVID-19 Youth Front (Africa? Youth? Front? Open? Coronavirus) and epidemic action network (epidemic? Action? Network) and a partner alliance * * * to maintain and improve the mask wearing rate of African people.

It is reported that this is not the first time BYD has donated epidemic prevention materials to Africa. Since March this year, masks have been donated to embassies and consulates in Kenya, South Africa, Ethiopia and other African countries to increase the supply of masks to Africa and alleviate the shortage of local medical materials.

On May 20th, BYD received a thank-you letter from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in Kenya. The letter said: "The United Nations Environment Programme has received 20,000 medical surgical masks donated by BYD. These masks will support the United Nations medical clinic at the global headquarters of the United Nations and the United Nations staff working on the front line of the COVID-19 epidemic in Kenya to fight the local COVID-19 epidemic. "

At the beginning of this year, an epidemic broke out in COVID-19. When the domestic epidemic prevention task was the most arduous and the demand for masks was the most urgent, BYD took the initiative to help produce epidemic prevention materials such as masks and disinfectant gels. Relying on the company's innovative research and development capabilities and strong manufacturing strength, BYD has created a "miracle" of producing drawings in 3 days, equipment in 7 days and products in 10 days, and has become the world's largest mask manufacturer in just 24 days.

After the self-produced masks went offline, BYD not only fully guaranteed the supply of domestic epidemic prevention materials, but also continued to help the world fight the epidemic. Previously, BYD masks went to 37 countries and regions, 28 embassies and 13 Consulate General around the world with the "health package" provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, providing local medical care in short supply. At present, the epidemic prevention materials produced by BYD have been shipped to more than 70 countries and regions around the world, and won wide acclaim at home and abroad.

In this global war "epidemic", BYD has been doing its best to fight the epidemic together with people all over the world to overcome the difficulties!
