"The European Commission will start dispatching a stock of 10 million masks to healthcare workers across the 27-country bloc and in the United Kingdom. The Commission said a first batch of 1.5 million masks will be shipped to 17 member states and UK over the next few days.
The stock, purchased through a European Union fund set up to tackle the COVID-19 crisis, will be distributed in weekly installments over the next six weeks. "
