The whole team at <strong>Burberry is very proud to be able to support those who are working tirelessly to combat COVID-19,<\/strong> whether by treating patients, working to find a vaccine solution or helping provide food supplies to those in need at this time.<\/p>\n<p>\"COVID-19 has fundamentally changed our everyday lives, but we hope that the support we provide<strong> will go some way towards saving more lives, bringing the virus under control<\/strong> and helping our world recover from this devastating pandemic. Together, we will get through this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>University of Oxford\u2019s Head of Medical Sciences, Professor Gavin Screaton, added: \u201cWe are delighted with Burberry's generous support for the University's research into a vaccine for COVID-19. <strong>Burberry's gift is an example of forward-thinking corporate philanthropy<\/strong> that complements and bolsters government and other investment in Oxford\u2019s leading global talent in this field. Donations like this have real and rapid impact, allowing us to be agile in our response, to accelerate this time-critical research.\"<\/p>\n<p>Burberry has been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis, which initially forced it to close all of its stores in China. It has since re-opened many of its stores in China but has been obliged to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/burberry-shuts-the-majority-of-stores-in-us-and-americas-and-reopens-in-china\/\">close most of its stores in Europe and the Americas<\/a> as the virus spreads globally.<\/p>\n<p>Fashion businesses around the world are engaged in helping to source and produce gowns and masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE) to help support the fight against the virus. In France <strong>LVMH has sourced masks and is using its perfume factories to create hand sanitiser<\/strong> while Kering, parent of Saint Laurent and Balenciaga, is also switching production to create PPE.<\/p>\n<p>In Spain Inditex and Mango have also been producing and sourcing masks and gowns and Swedish group H&amp;M is opening up its supply chains to help produce and source PPE, along with Ralph Lauren in the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":130487,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[968,5202,5707,10586],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Burberry retools factory to make non-surgical gowns and masks and funds vaccine research - TheIndustry.fashion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Burberry is contributing to the fight against COVID-19 by retooling its Yorkshire factory to make non-surgical gowns and masks, and is also helping to\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/burberry-retools-factory-to-make-non-surgical-gowns-and-masks-and-funds-vaccine-research\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Burberry retools factory to make non-surgical gowns and masks and funds vaccine research - TheIndustry.fashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Burberry is contributing to the fight against COVID-19 by retooling its Yorkshire factory to make non-surgical gowns and masks, and is also helping to\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/burberry-retools-factory-to-make-non-surgical-gowns-and-masks-and-funds-vaccine-research\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TheIndustry.fashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theindustryfashion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-03-28T16:41:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-08-06T12:05:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Burberry-2-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"750\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"440\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lauretta Roberts\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@theindustryfash\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@theindustryfash\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Lauretta Roberts\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/burberry-retools-factory-to-make-non-surgical-gowns-and-masks-and-funds-vaccine-research\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/burberry-retools-factory-to-make-non-surgical-gowns-and-masks-and-funds-vaccine-research\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Lauretta Roberts\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/#\/schema\/person\/85b04a16eba8c6cd7a9534c5a4262b89\"},\"headline\":\"Burberry retools factory to make non-surgical gowns and masks and funds vaccine research\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-03-28T16:41:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-08-06T12:05:14+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/burberry-retools-factory-to-make-non-surgical-gowns-and-masks-and-funds-vaccine-research\/\"},\"wordCount\":509,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Burberry\",\"Coronavirus\",\"Covid-19\",\"Marco Gobbetti\"],\"articleSection\":{\"1\":\"News &amp;
