00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.602
Hello, everyone.

00:00:01.602 --> 00:00:03.871
In these very challenging
and difficult times,

00:00:03.871 --> 00:00:06.940
I hope you're staying safe
and well.

00:00:06.940 --> 00:00:09.009
Teams across Apple
have been working hard

00:00:09.009 --> 00:00:10.577
on ways we can support

00:00:10.577 --> 00:00:13.480
our heroic frontline
medical professionals,

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.050
and I want to share
two updates today.

00:00:17.050 --> 00:00:19.353
First, the number of masks

00:00:19.353 --> 00:00:21.488
we've been able to source
through our supply chain

00:00:21.488 --> 00:00:25.726
has risen to over 20 million
around the world.

00:00:25.726 --> 00:00:29.630
This is a truly global effort,
and we're working continuously

00:00:29.630 --> 00:00:32.165
and closely with governments
at all levels

00:00:32.165 --> 00:00:36.937
to ensure these are donated
to places of greatest need.

00:00:36.937 --> 00:00:40.841
Second, we've launched
a company-wide effort,

00:00:40.841 --> 00:00:43.710
bringing together
product designers, engineering,

00:00:43.710 --> 00:00:47.881
operations, and packaging teams,
and our suppliers,

00:00:47.881 --> 00:00:53.320
to design, produce, and ship
face shields for health workers.

00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.690
Our first shipment was delivered
to Kaiser hospital facilities

00:00:56.690 --> 00:00:59.326
in the Santa Clara Valley
this past week,

00:00:59.326 --> 00:01:02.996
and the feedback from doctors
was very positive.

00:01:02.996 --> 00:01:06.066
These pack flat,
100 to a box.

00:01:06.066 --> 00:01:09.202
Each shield assembles
in less than two minutes

00:01:09.202 --> 00:01:12.272
and is fully adjustable.

00:01:12.272 --> 00:01:14.408
We're sourcing materials
and manufacturing

00:01:14.408 --> 00:01:16.276
in the US and China.

00:01:16.276 --> 00:01:19.746
We plan to ship over one million
by the end of this week,

00:01:19.746 --> 00:01:23.016
and over one million per week
after that.

00:01:23.016 --> 00:01:25.852
We are closely coordinating
with medical professionals

00:01:25.852 --> 00:01:28.922
and government officials
across the US

00:01:28.922 --> 00:01:32.659
to get these to where they're
needed most urgently.

00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:37.030
We hope to quickly expand
distribution beyond the US.

00:01:37.030 --> 00:01:38.365
In both these efforts,

00:01:38.365 --> 00:01:42.169
our focus is on
unique ways Apple can help,

00:01:42.169 --> 00:01:45.572
meeting essential needs
of caregivers urgently

00:01:45.572 --> 00:01:49.242
and at a scale
the circumstances require.

00:01:49.242 --> 00:01:53.680
For Apple, this is a labor
of love and gratitude,

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.017
and we will share more
of our efforts over time.

00:01:57.017 --> 00:01:58.251
In the meantime,

00:01:58.251 --> 00:02:01.254
each of us can stop
the spread of the virus

00:02:01.254 --> 00:02:04.191
by following expert advice
to stay home

00:02:04.191 --> 00:02:06.760
and practice social distancing.

00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:11.264
Thank you for all you're doing
to help in your own lives.

00:02:11.264 --> 00:02:15.135
Thank you again to those on
the front lines of this fight.

00:02:15.135 --> 00:02:17.671
Stay safe and stay healthy.
