Earlier on his Twitter page, Elon Musk wrote that he was ready to send lung ventilators to hospitals around the world to save those suffering from severe cases of COVID-19.
“We have extra FDA-approved ventilators. Will ship to hospitals worldwide within Tesla delivery regions. Device & shipping cost are free. Only requirement is that the vents are needed immediately for patients, not stored in a warehouse,” Musk tweeted.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukraine reported 794 laboratory-confirmed coronavirus cases as of Wednesday evening.
