Victoria, Seychelles. (News of The South) – Seychelles is set to benefit from a consignment of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) donated by the United States to help flight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The consignment includes 2 900 KN95 masks and 200 face shields, “the United States provides aid for altruistic reasons, because we believe it’s the right thing to do.

We also do it because pandemics don’t respect national borders. If we can help countries contain outbreaks, we wikl save lives abroad and at home in the United States,” said David Reimer, US Ambassador to Seychelles.

Although Seychelles has had 11 positive cases of COVID-19, to date there are only five patients at the isolation centre in the family hospital at Perseverance and four people in the quarantine facility at Beau Vallon Bay.
The United States has a strong maritime security partnership with Seychelles, an archipelago in Southern Africa.
