KATHMANDU: Social campaigner and scientist Mahabir Pun has initiated efforts to prepare the Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), the most safety kit for the health workers combating against COVID-19.

Confirming the news, Pun requested the people skilled at tailoring PPE to come into contact at the earliest.
