Phase two completed: UNMIK delivers PPE and tablets across Kosovo to combat COVID-19

UNMIK has completed its second phase of a Kosovo-wide donation campaign, delivering personal protective equipment packages to 33 municipalities totaling: 1381 boxes of gloves (50 pairs in each box) and 2000 boxes of masks (50 in each box), as well as 387 tablet computers.

After an initial two-week donation drive of health and hygiene packages and 3D printers in May, the latest deliveries took place throughout this past week across Kosovo and to the Basic Court of Pristina, with representatives receiving the packages from UNMIK personnel whilst respecting safety measures - as Kosovo continues to battle the global pandemic. 

Due to global shortages and supply chain interruptions, the equipment took longer to arrive in Kosovo than anticipated. However, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of UNMIK Zahir Tanin said persistent efforts to procure the materials paid off and would still reach Kosovo residents at a critical time.

"We are all facing a continued threat from COVID-19 and the best cure is prevention - this personal protective equipment will go to those most at-risk from contracting the virus. Meanwhile, the tablets will provide online learning opportunities for children not able to go to school, minimising the educational disruption introduced by this global catastrophe."

"UNMIK stands with the people of Kosovo," SRSG Tanin added.

The equipment is now with the below listed municipalities for onward distribution to those most in need.
