Staff comments

1. This project should not be confused with Record ID#91137, which captures a donation of medical supplies by the Chongqing Municipal Government to the Cordoba Province. While the donors are the same, these supplies arrived in Córdoba on June 2, 2020, and included different materials: 1,100 face shields, 1,520 N95 masks and 1,350 protective suits.
