The province says it is doling out more than $1 million to an Ontario manufacturing company that is expected to ramp up production to make as many as one million N95 masks per week.

Speaking at a news conference at Eclipse Innovations Inc. in Cambridge on Tuesday afternoon, Premier Doug Ford said the provincial government is providing the company with $1.4 million from the Ontario Together Fund to help Eclipse increase operations to manufacture millions of Ontario-made N95 respirators.

At the beginning of the pandemic, Ontario and other provinces struggled to obtain critical personal protective equipment for frontline health care workers as countries around the world scrambled to get their hands on N95 masks, surgical gowns, gloves, and other medical equipment. The company also has a partnership with Conestoga College for the development of an N95 predictive fit testing software utilizing facial scanning technology, Fedeli said.
