The health crisis linked to the COVID-19 outbreak has led to major global and national upheavals. For a community such as the Department of Loire-Atlantique, it is an exceptional circumstance in which it is a matter of maintaining as much as possible the public service provided to the inhabitants, in order to protect its agents and the public, consistent with the national health guidelines.The support of Europe therefore makes it possible to finance the purchase of sanitary protection equipment (medical devices and personal protective equipment) from these populations to cope with the health emergency.
