More than 60 Czech and Slovak citizens have donated over 45000 Chinese Yuan, which were used for the purchase of 2000 high-quality respirators for two designated hospitals in Shanghai and Hangzhou, whose medical teams were dispatched to fight the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Wuhan.

1000 respirators were donated to Shanghai Chest Hospital on March 4^th 2020, and the other 1000 respirators were donated to Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Zhejiang on March 6^th 2020.

With this donation, the Czech and Slovak community here in China would like to express gratitude and support to all that are taking part in the fight against the coronavirus”, said Mr Lukas Hlavac, Chairman of CzechCham Shanghai.
