Town hall chiefs are appealing to the public for donations of protective equipment to keep health and care staff safe from coronavirus.

Oldham council has asked for people to get in touch if they have any personal protective equipment (PPE) which could be used by front-line workers.

This includes disposable aprons, latex or nitrile gloves, face masks, hand sanitiser and eye protection. The vital equipment can stop the Covid-19 virus spreading between people via moisture droplets, and is especially important for dealing with patients with the infection.
