MRC Sarawak said any amount donated would go a long way in procuring the do-it-yourself (DIY) face shields costing RM4 each, 50 face masks valued at RM50, personal hygiene kits worth RM90 and ‘Family Hygiene’ kit (RM120), and other assistance.
“Since the government imposition of the Movement Control Order (MCO), we have been supporting hospital blood banks in their blood replenishment campaign, with the blood collection centre at a community hall having collected over 700 pints,” it added.
To date, MRC Sarawak has distributed 6,000 face shields and also 200 head/boot covers to the frontliners.
