A Los Angeles County official thanked Taiwan on Thursday for a donation of 90,000 surgical face masks. Kathryn Barger, a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, said that the donation was a symbol of the sibling-like relationship between Los Angeles County and Taiwan. 

Barger met with the head of the Taipei Economic & Cultural Office in Los Angeles, Abraham Chu, to receive the donation. The surgical masks were delivered in ten boxes, each with the words “Taiwan Can Help” printed on them. At a handover ceremony, Barger said that the Los Angeles County government can learn from Taiwan. Barger added that she would like to visit Taiwan after the pandemic.     [FULL  STORY]
