Furniture giant IKEA is producing face masks and other protective gear for hospitals, joining a growing list of companies branching out of their regular business areas to help meet equipment shortages in the fight against the CCP virus.

Having started with masks for staff in China in the early stages of the pandemic, the Swedish group is working with several suppliers to ramp up output of masks for health workers, as well as hand sanitizer, visors, and single-use aprons.
