Turkey to send medical supplies to US amid coronavirus outbreak
Turkey is the latest country to send personal protective equipment to the United States.
To help the United States offset a shortage of personal protective equipment for health care workers battling COVID-19, Turkey will send N95 masks and other medical gear, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today.
“At a time when even developed countries are asking for Turkey’s support, we have offered our support to a wide geography, from the Balkans to Africa,” Erdogan told reporters, according to Reuters.
“Military transport planes carrying these supplies will depart tomorrow," he said.
Erdogan said the shipment to the United States will include surgical masks, N95 masks, protective suits and disinfectants.
