Halep says donating equipment to help coronavirus fight
Wimbledon champion and world number two Simona Halep said she was donating money to pay for medical equipment in Romania as the country deals with the coronavirus pandemic.
In a message posted on her Facebook page, the 28-year-old said she hoped to help hospitals in Bucharest and Constanta and encouraged people to follow self-isolation guidelines.
“Unfortunately, we are going through a very difficult period that we could hardly have imagined a few months ago,” she said.
“On the other hand, it is the perfect opportunity to show that we know how to be supportive and responsible with our lives and those around us.
“While we are at home, doctors and medical personnel make huge efforts to treat and save each life by exposing themselves for the general good.”
