Tech companies around the globe are playing their part against the COVID-19 epidemic and now Apple is pitching in as well. The Cupertino based tech giant has announced that it will be producing 1 million face shields for medical workers per week.
Additionally, company CEO Tim Cook has also announced that they have managed to source over 20 million masks from their supply chains.

The executive said that 100 of these face shields can be packed in a box and can be assembled in just two minutes. They are making sure that these face shields reach places that need it the most. Their first shipment was delivered to Kaiser hospital facilities in Santa Clara and the feedback from the doctors was very positive.
They are closely working with medical professionals and experts to learn where these packages are required urgently. Apple plans to ship a million face shields by the end of this week and is set to deliver a million masks weekly after that.
