Government has received the first shipment of supplies, which includes equipment, to assist in the fight against COVID-19.
The supplies, sourced from the United States, Ireland and China, are valued at approximately $1 billion.
The announcement was made this afternoon by Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr Christopher Tufton in a video posted to his Twitter page. The video shows Tufton touring the warehouse of the National Health Fund, where the supplies are being stored.
He said the supplies include, N95 masks, beds for Intensive Care Units, ventilators, stretchers and infrared thermometers.

STFU. What do you know about Canada? Trump TRIED to stop a shipment of 3M masks destined for Canada. Then he found out that Canada grows the trees that produce the pulp, that MAKE the masks. So he had to back down because if he wants to play dirty we can play dirty too and Shut 3M down. Are you dumb?
