Protected from the virus, Ford employees are volunteering their services to help create 500,000 face masks.Ford has begun production of protective face shields at its Silverton plant for donation to medical and essential personnel battling Covid-19.
This SA initiative complements the efforts of Ford US to produce face shields, and partnering with health care departments to manufacture ventilators at its Michigan plants. The World Health Organisation and the SA department of health have deemed these face shields, along with the N95 face masks which can be worn under the shield, a crucial part of personal protective equipment for medical personnel who are at the greatest risk of exposure to the coronavirus.
The public and businesses across SA are invited to support this initiative to help address the critical shortage of personal protection equipment
What a great initiative hopefully they will produce ventilators as well, as their US counterpart
Why not ventilators?
