Northern Beaches Businesses Asked to Join the Fight Against COVID-19

Businesses across the Northern Beaches are being encouraged to join the fight against COVID-19 and start producing much needed medical equipment for NSW.

Member for Manly James Griffin said the unprecedented global demand on much needed medical supplies had seen traditional suppliers now unable to fill urgent orders to service NSW.

“Hand sanitiser, hand wash, soap, cleaning products, protective clothing, gloves, masks, eyewear and paper products are now in high demand,” Mr Griffin said.

“The NSW Government is now calling on local businesses across NSW to convert their production lines to make these products to fill the gap.

The products required urgently include:

  • Hand sanitiser
  • Handwash soap
  • Gloves
  • Cleaning products
  • Protective clothing
  • Masks
  • Eyewear
  • Paper products

Mr Griffin said this is also a great way for businesses who may be seeing a downturn in business due to COVID-19 to adapt and remain strong during these uncertain times.

“Businesses now have the opportunity to diversify and keep as many workers in a job as possible.”
