Defence industry specialist Babcock is set to manufacture 10,000 ventilators to help deal with the COVID-19 crisis.

The plan comes shortly after after Dyson said it had received a government order for 10,000 ventilators. Babcock’s statement said: “We responded quickly to the UK’s Ventilator Challenge and we are proud to have been awarded a contract to manufacture 10,000 Zephyr Plus ventilators – subject to regulatory approvals – a product being developed in collaboration with an established major international supplier of critical care ventilators.”
