National Ski Associations, clubs, resorts, ski businesses, companies and athletes as well as FIS are helping in the global fight against coronavirus. A common theme is providing protective clothing for those working on the front line in the health care industry against the virus.
The U.S.-based campaign “Goggles for Docs” provides used ski googles to medics and has already received thousands of sets of protective eyewear for hospitals, particularly in New York state in just a few days. If you have old or superfluous ski goggles at home and would like to help, here are all details: https://gogglesfordocs.com/.
Ski equipment brand Aleah will focus their production on protective goggles as well , while leading ski equipment manufacturer and footwear produced Salomon has provided sandals and compression stockings to medical personnel at hospitals of Lyon, Paris, Mulhouse, Chambéry, Marseille and Annecy, on the front lines in the battle against Covid-19.
Also medical teams at ski resorts have been donating stocks of hard-to-obtain goods in many countries, including gloves, sanitisers and masks to hospitals.
Individuals are contributing too. In the French resort Alpe d ‘Huez, ski instructor Françoise Berthet, is making protective masks from old skiwear once used by instructors of the French Ski school (ESF) in the resort. German ski jumper Katharina Althaus is working hard on sowing additional face masks.
Other individuals and companies have other helpful ideas and measures in the fight against Covid-19.
