The number may impress, but it will be necessary to defeat the Covid-19 coronavirus. The city and metropolis of Bordeaux have just ordered 100,000 protective masks for agents who ensure the continuity of public service every day and to replenish stocks. They will be delivered in eight to ten days depending on the town hall.

In solidarity, the city of Wuhan, twinned with Bordeaux for twenty-two years and from which the epidemic started, will send 7,500 additional masks in the coming days.

To make it easier for them to move around, Bordeaux Métropole has also decided to grant free public transport (trams and buses in the metropolis) to healthcare staff during the State of health emergency.
