Britain took delivery of 300 ventilators from China on Saturday (UK standard time) and more will start being produced soon by a consortium of aerospace, engineering, and Formula One teams, Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove said.

“We’ve been buying invasive ventilators from partners abroad, including Germany and Switzerland, and today 300 new ventilators arrived from China, I’d like to thank the Chinese government,” he told a news conference.
