Britain will soon start making ventilators to take the strain off the NHS, a minister said today. Robert Jenrick, who is housing minister, said the UK has received the first prototypes of the machines already.
They are designed to support the NHS in its battle to fight the coronavirus pandemic. More than 5,000 people have been diagnosed with the flu-like virus in the UK so far.
Mr Jenrick, MP for Newark, Nottinghamshire, said: "We've been overwhelmed by offers of support. There's now a number of manufacturers who are working with us. “We're in receipt of some of the first prototypes, and we expect that manufacturing can start quite quickly. “We do need more, and we're trying to ramp up production as quickly as we can.” Singer entertains
