A scramble by the UK to produce thousands of ventilators to fight the coronavirus outbreak was achieving results as top companies have already produced a prototype and it should be ready for use in hospitals by the end of next week, according to Britain’s health secretary.
“More than half a dozen companies have already made one in prototype, to check with us that we are happy with the quality ,” Matt Hancock told BBC TV.
He also said that negotiations were advancing to purchase new equipment in large numbers that would enable home testing.
“Frankly I don’t care where it comes from as long as we can get our hands on it,” he told the Today Programme on BBC Radio 4.
The tests had only recently been invented and approved by regulators in the past couple of days, he added.
