In the same way that Amancio Ortega donated hundreds of thousands of masks and medical supplies to combat this COVID-19 epidemic in Spain, Apple will also do the same in the United States and Europe.
An apple company will donate 2 million masks. This was announced by Mike Pence, US Vice President at a press conference.
Our nation's health care system requires the resources of patients and staff. One of the most needed services is a mask.

Apple has donated millions of masks and medical supplies
The U.S. health system needs more than 3.5 billion masks, depending on how strong the coronavirus is in the nation. Fortunately, many companies like Apple have taken the decision to show solidarity and donate money to make N95 masks.
This was confirmed by Tim Cook himself, Apple's CEO, on Twitter.
Our Apple teams have been working to assist with the acquisition of COVID-19 health care providers. We offer millions of health care practitioners in the US and Europe. To all the heroes in the front row, thank you.

But from Padízate we also want to highlight the work of the true heroes that made this collective action possible, those pilots, truckers and drivers responsible for the distribution of all medical equipment. Together we will eliminate the virus!
