The government said in a statement that this was the third delivery of protective gear from China in January.
The latest delivery as well as the previous ones serves to maintain the continuity of protective equipment reserves necessary to fight the coronavirus epidemic, the government said.
After it is unloaded, the equipment will be transported to the Civil Protection logistical centre at Jastrebarsko outside Zagreb from where it will be sent to medical and welfare institutions as well as other institutions involved in the fight against the epidemic.
The value of the protective gear delivered today is €905,934 and it consists of FFP2 face masks, protective overalls and shoe covers.
