"We are cheering on these Indian engineers as they race to build a low-cost ventilator -- a potential game-changer for #COVID19. W/ support from @MIT engineers & production advice from a US-based company, we hope this invention succeeds & can eventually be produced at scale," State SCA said in a tweet attributed to Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary (PDAS) Alice Wells.
As the coronavirus crisis accelerates, the shortages of ventilators are a cause of concerns around the world.
The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic on March 11. To date, more than 921,000 people have been infected with the coronavirus worldwide, with over 46,000 fatalities, according to Johns Hopkins University.
