Apple Begins Company-Wide Effort to Make COVID-19 Face Shields

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is stepping up its efforts to help medical professionals on the frontlines fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, announcing over the weekend it is producing millions of face shields.

In a video post on Twitter, CEO Tim Cook said Apple launched a companywide effort bringing together product designers, engineers, operations, its packaging team, and suppliers to design, produce and ship face shields to healthcare workers. The first shipment was delivered last week to a Kaiser Permanente hospital facility in Santa Clara Valley, California. Apple plans to ship more than 1 million by the end of this week and 1 million per week after that to various facilities that need them.
