Four aircraft carrying a total of 90,000 protective suits from Turkey arrived in Poland in order to help in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus epidemic.

Jakub Kumoch, the Polish ambassador to Turkey, stressed that the transport was possible thanks to the cooperation of the offices of Polish and Turkish presidents, Andrzej Duda and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.



The transport took place over the night with the use of two Hercules and two CASA transport aeroplanes. The aircraft have already landed in Warsaw.



Mr Kumoch thanked the Chief of Staff of the Polish President Krzysztof Szczerski and the spokesman for the President of Turkey Ibrahim Kalin.



The Polish Consulate in Istanbul announced on social media that the ordered equipment will be handed to the Polish Material Reserves Agency.
