Staff comments

1. According to a report by the Media Institute of the Caribbean, "the Chinese government, the Zhejiang provincial government, and the Chinese Embassy in Suriname have provided multiple batches of PPE, including more than 400,000 masks, 30 respirators, 3000 sets of protective clothing, and 8500 testing kits." This donation, then, likely comprises a portion of this aggregate.
