By Tess Farrand, Associate Content Editor

Ford Motor company will begin to manufacture respirators for health care professionals using a part from the popular Ford Truck, the F-150.

COVID-19 merits creativity and innovation to provide worthwhile resources in this unprecedented time and Ford seems to be up to the challenge.

Starting tomorrow, we will begin production of a new powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR), with design and testing consultation from @3M.

We are also leading efforts to manufacture reusable gowns, #COVID19 test collection kits, and produce face masks. #PPE #BuiltFordProud pic.twitter.com/vS5LnYmtQ7
