Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government is working with a number of Canadian companies to produce up to 30,000 ventilators.
Trudeau says he hopes that many ventilators won't be needed to treat COVID-19 patients in Canada, but health officials want to be as prepared as possible.
In addition to working with Canadian companies to manufacture critical equipment, Trudeau says Canada is also working with suppliers around the world.
He says the country is expecting a shipment of 500,000 surgical grade masks from Minnesota based 3M by tomorrow.
