Staff comments

1. This donation appears to be distinct from the 500,000 masks Shanghai donated to South Korean cities and provinces in February 2020 (captured in Record ID#101303). 2. AidData has estimated the transaction amount for this donation based on price catalogues from the World Health Organization (WHO). Please see the TUFF Methodology for additional details.
