Salvatore Palella, CEO and founder of HelbizThe Covid-19 prevention kit arrives home on a scooter. In fact, Helbiz has launched a non-profit project with eFarma.com for the delivery of KN95 and sanitizing masks in support of the Humanitas Research Foundation.The service will be available in the cities of Milan, Rome, Turin, Verona, where it will be possible to purchase a kit at the price of 15 euros which includes a KN95 certified mask and a sanitizing gel.
The mechanics of the operation provide for the donation of 3 masks for each kit purchased to the Humanitas Foundation for Research which will make them available to hospital operators. The activity has no profit either for Helbiz as delivery is free of charge or for eFarma.com as the kit products are sold at cost price."This is a social responsibility collaboration with eFarma and it is the beginning of a new commercial segment, that of delivery, which will continue after the lockdown is over," explained Ruggero Cipriani, head of Partnerships at Helbiz.
"Helbiz is the only micro-mobility operator in Italy that has decided to leave its electric vehicles available to institutions and voluntary organizations. - declares Salvatore Palella founder of Helbiz - We wanted to demonstrate that our company and our services are useful even in times of an emergency such as Covid-19. In this case we have developed, in just one week, a section of our app to meet the specific need for protection of citizens, but we are already thinking and planning new projects for the reopening phase in which with social distancing the mobility of people will be a central element ”.
"This is a very delicate moment for our company and as online pharmacists we are working 24 hours a day to guarantee a service to Italians who need parapharmaceutical products - comments Francesco Zaccariello CEO of eFarma.com - we have embraced this initiative to strengthen the our presence in certain cities and guaranteeing a rapid and environmentally sustainable delivery service for products that are difficult to find at this time ".
Roberto Cagliero, Fundraising Director of the Humanitas Foundation for Research adds: “Masks have become an essential necessity even for healthcare professionals. We thank Helbiz and eFarma for this initiative and for the generosity towards our professionals ".
