SOUTH ASIA - Brands are being urged to step in to mitigate the coronavirus pandemic's impact on garment workers as a third wave of infections hits India and supply chain countries across South Asia.
The Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) is urging brands to do more to look after the people who make their clothes and is calling on governments to work harder to keep garment workers safe.
"With hundreds of thousands of new cases and thousands of deaths being reported daily, India’s healthcare system is collapsing under the weight of the number and severity of the new cases with hospital beds and oxygen for critical patients in short supply," says a CCC statement.
