Many large companies around the world are doing their part to help combat the spread of the coronavirus-infected virus and now Nintendo has joined the fight.
As the N95 response mask is one of the most requested by first responders and healthcare providers, Nintendo's North American production center has donated thousands of face masks and other personal protective equipment to Eastside Fire & Rescue.
Nintendo spokesman Jerry Danson said masks are needed during th is difficult time. Here is the complete description:
Danson said the mask was originally purchased for emergency planning; however, in the midst of the COVID-19 disaster, he knew they were needed elsewhere. Eastside Fire & Rescue staff will distribute masks throughout the region to address immediate needs, including the City of North Bend.
Since this issue has not been identified, the safety and security of members of the public is of paramount importance.
Communities served by the City of North Bend and Eastside Fire & Rescue are very grateful for the generous donation from Nintendo.
