India Step Up Production On PPE To Contain Spread Of The Coronavirus

NEW DELHI, INDIA - APRIL 14: Indian paramilitary soldiers from the Central Reserve Police Force manufacture Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) suits at their camp, as India remains under an unprecedented lockdown over the highly contagious coronavirus (COVID-19) on April 14, 2020 in New Delhi, India. Coronavirus cases in India on Tuesday crossed the 10,000 mark amid concerns that a shortage of PPE was putting medics, several of whom have already tested positive, at risk of contracting the disease while performing their duties. Media reports have highlighted instances of doctors using raincoats and motorcycle helmets to protect themselves. Officials on Tuesday said India was expecting China to fulfill orders for 15 million PPE kits and 1.5 million rapid testing kits. (Photo by Yawar Nazir/Getty Images)
