Elda and Petrer's sideboards, take advantage of their craft to make masks for the hospital of the region.

The Town Hall of the Alicante town facilitated the coordination task and numerous sideboards of both Petrer and neighboring Elda got to work and already carry more than 5.000 masks in a few days against coronavirus.
