Since early March, when COVID-19 began to spread across the United States, West Virginia has been at the forefront of innovative response efforts.
Today, Gov. Justice and other state leaders provided an overview of several products that have recently been developed in West Virginia to streamline and broaden response capabilities, including new and innovative ventilator systems, 3D-printed testing swabs, reusable medical gowns, protective masks, and Hydrogen Peroxide disinfecting systems.
“I’ve said over and over, I could never be more proud of West Virginia and West Virginians because they are the heart and soul of this country,” Gov. Justice said. “At the end of the day, the very thing that they are the greatest at is that they’re smart. They’re innovative people, they’re creative people, they’re craftsmen, and you see it right here with what’s happening.”
