The Lord Provost of Glasgow City Council has made a call for all businesses with unused PPE supplies to donate them to the front line medical and care workers.
Philip Braat called for donations of unopened aprons, face masks, hand sanitisers and plastic gloves to be donated to the council so it can be distributed among the workers who need it most.
He said: "In these incredibly difficult times, I am appealing directly to our business community. Increased demands for important protective equipment used daily by our front line staff like care workers means supplies all over the country are under real pressure.
"Please let us know if you have stock that you are able to donate to help us prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
