Correct me if I am wrong, but I think "NPI" here means "non-pharmaceutical intervention".

What a horrible acronym! Was it coined by the pharmaceutical industry? "To fight COVID, we have vaccines, antivirals, steroids, novel pharmaceutical approaches, and then we have a miscellaneous category of non-pharmaceutical interventions."

You could've used "PPE" here. (personal protective equipment.)

It's a term of art that's been around for decades and it means something different than what "PPE" means.
