In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, luxury home goods brand LVMH is offering free hand sanitizer to French healthcare authorities.
While the panic caused from the pandemic has led to supermarket shelves clearing out, LVMH is doing all it can to ensure those on the front lines of fighting the virus are prepared and safe. Right now in France, there's a risk of a shortage of hydroalcoholic gel. In response to this LVMH announced that its cosmetic and production factories for the labels Christian Dior, Givenchy and Guerlain will be producing hand sanitizer for French authorities.
According to the brand, the anti-bacterial gel will be offered to French health authorities free of charge, in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19.
