A first delivery before others. This Wednesday, 500,000 surgical masks were delivered to Rennes in an attempt to fight against the spread of the coronavirus epidemic. These masks had been ordered three weeks ago by the Brittany region but had been late in arriving, due to the shortage of goods worldwide.
