Apple to design, produce and ship face shields to in-need medical workers

Over the weekend, Apple's CEO published a video to Twitter outlining the various ways the company is working to bring medical supplies to healthcare workers like making and sending their own masks.

On Sunday, Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted a video of himself describing the ways in which Apple is doing its part in supplying medical professionals with safety equipment. In addition to having sourced over 20M masks across the world through its supply chain and donating them to in-need facilities, Cook states that the company's"design, engineering, operations and packaging teams are also working with suppliers to design, produce and ship face shields for medical workers."

Cook says that Apple has plans to ship over one million masks by the end of this week and one million every week after that.
