The recent Covid-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions in healthcare systems, in particular in the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) supply chain. The present paper aims at studying the effects of Covid-19 on its main supply chain variables and at investigating how viability and resilience concepts were applied during this period. A Systematic Literature Review helps identify the variables and strategies most commonly considered, forming the basis of a survey then carried out among French and Italian companies operating in the PPE supply chain. The results allow to derive both academic and practical implications.
