NEW DELHI: As life starts to normalize, the Indian Premier League (IPL), one of the world’s most prestigious cricketing leagues, is gearing up to begin its new season from 19th September in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). JSW and GMR co-owned franchise Delhi Capitals has partnered with Livinguard AG, the globally renowned Swiss based hygiene technology company as the official Hygiene Partner for the team.
Livinguard AG, with operations in India, as well as Switzerland, Germany, USA, Singapore, Japan, and South Africa, has recently introduced a revolutionary and first of its kind face mask, proven to deactivate a range of bacteria and viruses, including >99.9% of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
