The Chinese Embassy in Poland has distributed more than 1,000 health packs to Chinese students studying there, as the country's confirmed COVID-19 cases approached 6,000.
With some 20,000 face masks and 150 liters of disinfectant liquid donated by Chinese companies, banks in Poland, the embassy staff worked overtime to repack the supplies into 1,367 health packs and distributed them to the students, said a press release on the embassy's official website on Friday.
In a letter attached to the health pack, Chinese Ambassador to Poland Liu Guangyuan thanks the students for their prompt action and generous donation to support their country and compatriots in the fight against the novel coronavirus. He reassures that the embassy is always ready to help the Chinese students by all necessary means.
Since the outbreak, the Chinese Embassy in Poland has been in close contact with the Polish government to ensure the legitimate rights of Chinese citizens and students. Prior to the distribution of the health packs, the embassy had sent around 8,000 facial masks to students who needed them most, and coordinated various entities to provide assistance to the Chinese citizens and students.
"We are so grateful that the embassy could send us the critically needed supplies which a lot of people are looking for amid the pandemic. We feel safe and confident in overcoming the crisis," a student was quoted as saying.
The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Poland has reached 5,955, with 181 deaths, the Health Ministry said Friday afternoon.
