Rain ponchos that normally help Disney theme park guests enjoy their visit on a rainy day will be used by nurses and medical workers fighting the coronavirus after Disney Parks donated 150,000 ponchos to a healthcare humanitarians organization.
Medical workers are in desperate need of personal protective equipment including masks and gowns to protective themselves while working with coronavirus patients. “The idea was inspired by nurses across the country who inventively found that rain ponchos can be an excellent way to protect their clothing and prolong the use of PPE, while also freeing up gowns when needed,” Disney Parks wrote in the post.
