The club confirmed on Twitter they had sold out a batch of 1,500 shirts via their online store on Thursday night, with all the proceeds going to Assistance Publique Hopitaux de Paris.
More than 25,000 people in France have been infected by the virus and over 1,300 have died, according to Reuters tally.
PSG are, once again, the runaway leaders in Ligue 1 this season, holding a 12-point lead with a game in hand before the season was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
PSG also booked their place in the Uefa Champions League quarter-finals after defeating German side Borussia Dortmund inside an empty Parc des Princes stadium.
Despite a ban on fan attendance, it did not stop thousands of supporters from gathering outside the ground and they were joined in celebration after the match by PSG players who took to the top tier of the stadium to rejoice in their victory.
