Given the announcement of a second wave of infections due to the implementation of the fourth phase of economic reactivation, through an initiative of the Romero Foundation, the Romero Group launches a Covid-19 prevention campaign, providing citizens with a free million KN95 masks, along with the newspapers El Comercio, Perú21 and Trome."Behind a mask is the most important thing", is the campaign that will deliver the million KN95 masks over four Sundays. The distribution will take place on Sundays, October 18 and 25, together with the newspapers El Comercio and Perú 21, while on Sundays, November 1 and 8, the same will be done with the Trome newspaper." In addition, readers will be able to find recommendations on Thursdays and Sundays in the campaign newspapers, from October 15 to November 8, to continue taking care of ourselves and avoid a second wave of infections.

The masks delivered during the four aforementioned dates have biosafety certificates and have gone through effectiveness tests that guarantee their protective capacity. Each mask has an individual imported sanitary package completely sealed and has been placed in an additional cover that guarantees its protection and safety during the distribution process.

International studies show that if an infected person wears a mask in front of another healthy person, also wearing a mask, the possibility of contagion decreases by 95%. There are many models of masks, but one of the safest is the KN95. As its name says, this mask blocks up to 95% of the droplets expelled by a person. Unlike other models, it filters tiny droplets down to 0.3 microns, such as those from aerosols.“We believe that this pandemic has severely affected families, businesses and employment. For this reason, from the Romero Foundation, we are making this important effort to avoid a second wave of infections that could lead us to a similar situation in the future. It is of the utmost importance that we continue with the use of masks, social distancing and hand washing," said Dionisio Romero Paoletti, president of the Romero Foundation."To learn more about the initiatives that the Romero Foundation has been carrying out in the framework of the Covid-19 emergency, visit detrasdeunamascarilla.pe Romero Group Solidarity After the declaration of the health emergency in Peru, the companies of the Romero Group have been working to minimize the effects of this crisis on the vulnerable population, bringing food to the families that need it most, evacuating Lima from Puno, Iquitos and Piura. to doctors and nurses who required specialized care, delivering more than 300,000 protective, medical, and oxygen equipment throughout the country and donating more than 500,000 scholarships for professionals, students, and businessmen who need to face new challenges by reinforcing their skills.
