An important milestone has been reached by authorities in Greater Manchester in the fight against coronavirus. This week, the one millionth piece of PPE (personal protective equipment) was distributed through the Manchester and Trafford PPE Mutual Aid Hub, as the councils support their most vulnerable residents.
The mutual aid hub is an emergency service based on the urgent supply of PPE equipment to ensure key workers have the protection they need to continue providing essential services.
For almost a month the hub has been working to provide equipment to staff working in health and social care throughout Manchester and Trafford.
