Production has started on 10 million face masks at General Motors.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement yesterday.
“I can announce that we’ve signed a contract with General Motors to produce 10 million face masks. As we speak, GM employees are already making these masks. They will keep people safe and help slow the spread of COVID-19. And for the auto workers in Oshawa, this contract will support good, well-paying jobs in an industry that has face tough times”, said Trudeau.
Additionally, Trudeau says over 40 flights carrying personal protective equipment – like masks and hospital gowns – have landed in Canada over the past 10 weeks.
A new contract has also been signed to produce 10,000 ventilators in Canada.
