Over the previous week, there have been different reports of specialists depending on wearing overcoats, protective caps and different options because of the deficiency of PPE packs.

To comprehend the measures as of now being attempted by PPE producers to defeat this deficiency, just as the challenges they are looking because of the lockdown and different conditions, The Quint addressed Sanjiiiv, the Chairman of the Preventive Wear Manufacturers Association of India (PWMAI).

'India Lost Around 5 Weeks': Center's Delayed Response

The principal worry around the deficiency of PPEs was the deferred reaction by the Center in countering the issue.

PPE makers including Sanjiiiv state they had reached the wellbeing service in February and asked the administration to load up on PPE packs. Be that as it may, they state they didn't get any reaction from the Center.

Sanjiiiv: We never got a mail till 21 March. In the event that the administration had answered and given the determinations by around 21 February rather, at that point we would have had the option to make sufficient game plans.

Sanjiiiv: Yes. It could have happened something close to 15 February. In the event that that had occurred, we wouldn't have seen this issue (with respect to the lack of PPEs).

As this is certifiably not a directed division, producers don't have any set rules regarding what must be followed under such flare-ups. Along these lines, we have to anticipate our administration with regards to what they are stating, about what we need to make.
