In wake of the growing number of Coronavirus cases in India, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has announced more specific measures to aid the Karnataka state government in its fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. 

As doctors, paramedics and other hospital staff at the frontline need more Personal Protective Equipment Kits (PPE) and other support, TKM today has offered transportation support along with 1,000 hazmat suits to the Bangalore Medical College (BMCRI). Meanwhile, the company is already known to be handing over an additional 2,000 of these hazmat suits to the government.

TKM has also deployed ten buses to the BMCRI, and another four buses to the health department of Ramanagara district to enable convenient and safe mobility for healthcare workers. These buses will be available 24/7 (till April 30) for the medical staff to perform their duties while visiting hospitals, doing field-work or other coordination jobs.
