Taiwan to send Covid aid to India this weekend

Taiwan aims to send 150 oxygen concentrators to India this weekend to help it deal with a massive increase in Covid-19 infections.

Taiwan has bought 150 oxygen concentrators and aims to send them to India this weekend to help it deal with a massive increase in Covid-19 infections, and is also looking at providing further aid, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said on Thursday. Countries around the world have been rushing to help India alleviate the crisis. India's death toll from the coronavirus pandemic surged past 200,000 on Wednesday, worsened by shortages of hospital beds and medical oxygen. Wu told reporters that they had been working on an aid package for India and have already purchased 150 oxygen concentrators which should be able to be sent this weekend.
