Initiated by Lionel Bieder, a well-known entrepreneur in Thionvillois, and director of the company Actor-France Augias-GROUP, the collective “Masques pour tous” was present this Friday, April 24 in the town of Yutz. Two Yussois members of the operation, Katia Birkelbach and Laurent Schultz, donated their time, to distribute free surgical masks and gloves to people present in the queues of Yussois shops and market stalls. “The goal is for everyone to be able to do their basic shopping while reducing the risk of contamination,” says Katia Birkelbach. It is also an opportunity to recall the instructions for using this equipment and the need to respect barrier gestures.
Other operations of the same type will take place soon in Yutz, but also in Thonville, Terville, Manom and Hettange-Grande, “as soon as the delivery of several hundred thousand masks will be carried out, during the next week”, concludes Katia, inviting “anyone in demand” to go to the Thionville Solidarity volunteers’ Facebook page.
