In an emergency
shout-out to all South Africans and corporate, SHOUT SA has created a new
public service initiative to get surgical and N95 masks to healthcare workers
during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Thursday, East Coast Drive spoke to co-founder of SHOUT4MASKS, Danny K, about giving vital supplies to healthcare workers and hospital patients.

SHOUT4MASKS was formed to raise funds to buy masks directly from factories, overcoming the risk of profiteering middlemen.
This is what we asked Danny K:
1. Can you tell us about SHOUT SA?
2. How dire is the shortage of surgical masks for healthcare workers and patients at the moment?
3. How does the average person get involved and help out?
4. Tell us about the special tiers that are available for corporates?
5. Will all donors receive a tax deduction certificate?
6. In your opinion, how well do you think South Africa is doing in our fight against coronavirus?
