The masks will go to help vulnerable groups in the community, such as the elderly, single families, long-term patients, and medical patient support staff, according to Melco.
“We trust the combined efforts of the Macau SAR Government, businesses and members of the public will enable us to collectively overcome Covid-19 and become an ever-stronger and more united community,” said Lawrence Ho, Chairman & CEO of Melco Resorts & Entertainment, according to the company’s statement.
“We are grateful for the Government’s continued anti-epidemic efforts and hope the mask donation will support frontline medical workers in their daily fight against the spread of the virus.
