UK ventilator consortium says scaling up in case of COVID-19 second spike

A consortium of British aerospace, automotive, and medical companies said they were ramping up ventilator production to make sure there were enough available should there be a second spike in the novel coronavirus outbreak.

"We are continuing to scale up our production capabilities to make sure that there is always a ventilator available when a patient needs it should a second wave strike the UK," said Dick Elsy, Chairman of VentilatorChallengeUK and CEO of the High-Value Manufacturing Catapult.
