British industry expects the government to give the go-ahead to an emergency ventilator production plan on Wednesday that will see a number of firms join forces to tackle the coronavirus outbreak, three sources told Reuters.
Airbus , Smiths , Ford and McLaren are among a number of different firms which will be involved in the process, with the idea that some degree of output, whether that is making components or full ventilators, should ideally begin next week, said a source close to the process."It will be upscaling, on more of an industrial scale, existing ventilator designs," one of the sources said.
Britain is trying to boost the number of ventilators available to its publicly funded health service by using some from private hospitals and building more domestically if possible. Ventilators, which cost tens of thousands of dollars, are mechanical breathing devices that can blow air and oxygen into the lungs.
