PSG donate kit sales to hospitals
French Club Paris Saint Germain have raised over 200 thousand euros for local healthcare professionals battling the coronavirus outbreak, with the release of a limited edition jersey.
The shirt is a replica of PSG's current home strip, though the standard sponsor logos and sleeve patches are replaced with mottos and badges pledging support for the doctors, nurses and care-staff, dealing with the coronavirus outbreak.

The club confirmed that they had sold out a batch of 1500 shirts, via their online store, with all profits going to Assistance publique Hopitaux de Paris, a fund that supports over 40 hospitals in and around the French capital.
So far, the virus has taken more than 1600 lives in France, while Paris account for over a quarter of the 29 thousand confirmed cases in the country, with almost 1300 now in intensive care.
