Protective equipment has been a big issue for doctors who are treating people with coronavirus.
Some equipment in place has been criticised for not being up to scratch and there has been a big effort to try and get it sorted.

Manchester United and England striker Marcus Rashford has been working with charity FareShare to try and help kids in Manchester after schools were closed.
"I have done a lot of work with children and when I heard about the schools shutting down, I knew some kids would not be getting free meals at school.
"When I was at school, I was on free meals and my mum wouldn't get home until around six o'clock so my next meal would have been about eight o'clock", he told the 91热爆.
Rashford said the work they have been doing has helped raise 拢100,000 which will feed 400,000 children across Manchester.
