In all, the state received some 3 million surgical masks made by BYD, a company known for building electric vehicles with an assembly plant in Los Angeles County.

The masks “arrived on Saturday night, got into the state warehouse on Sunday, started getting distributed to 18 specific sites yesterday,” Newsom said. “And as more protective gear comes in, more quickly, we’ll get it out.”

Three million masks made by Chinese electric-car maker BYD arrived in California this week, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday. State officials have insisted that the undisclosed contract requires the N95 masks made by BYD to first be approved for effectiveness by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. A BYD spokesman said Wednesday that the certification could come as soon as the end of the week and that the first shipment of surgical masks was slightly ahead of schedule.

Purchases of PPE must be top secret. We know the WH will pirate purchases before they get to their destination. It’s happened to MA and Germany. The WH can’t be trusted.

Good for GavinNewsom 👍👍 hey whatever it takes. My daughter works at a hospital so I’m especially appreciative 💙😷

Without central governmental negotiation at a national level, each state has to figure this out in their own. Maryland did the same. Oh wait, this is a problem only for Democratic governors, right?

Hope they're not contaminated like others that they sent...

Do they work?

GavinNewsom I'm sure Gavie is getting quite the nice kickback. RecallGavinNewsom

China will own California by 2027.

Amazing how Gavin Newsom made that happen the second the LA Times was somewhat critical.
