They’re one of many shows doing their bit to help.

Grey’s Anatomy will be donating medial supplies to hospitals to help fight the spread of coronavirus.

The ABC drama series is joining the likes of other medical and emergency service based shows such as The Good Doctor, Station 19, and The Resident, who are offering necessary supplies to hospitals in the US and Canada amid the Covid-19 outbreak.

According to CNN, Grey’s Anatomy will be donating gowns and gloves, while N95 masks used in the production of firefighting drama Station 19 are also being offered to medical personnel and patients.

“At ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ we have a backstock of gowns and gloves which we are donating as well,” executive producer Krista Vernoff said.

“We are all overwhelmed with gratitude for our healthcare workers during this incredibly difficult time, and in addition to these donations, we are doing our part to help them by staying home.”

She added that Station 19 “were lucky enough to have about 300 of the coveted N95 masks which we donated to our local fire station. They were tremendously grateful.”

Grey’s Anatomy, which has been on their air since 2005, was one of the first TV shows in the US to suspend production indefinitely due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Peaky Blinders, EastEnders, Coronation Street, and Emmerdale are among those that have also shut down production until further notice.
