U.S. Will Donate Up To 1,000 Ventilators To South Africa

The US is aiding South Africa in its fight against COVID-19 by sending state-of-the-art ventilators and related equipment. South Africa is the first to receive this aid, although Mexico has also received ventilators. The US plans to send 8,000 ventilators abroad by July, but it's unclear if they will be donated or sold. Ventilators are crucial during the pandemic due to the virus's impact on the respiratory system. South Africa has the highest number of COVID-19 cases in Africa, with over 11,300 cases and 200 deaths.
