The United States urged all construction companies in the country to donate their N95 masks to the healthcare sector so that healthcare workers could be protected during the coronavirus crisis, US Vice President Mike Pence said on Tuesday.

Pence added that the masks are "perfectly capable" to be used for healthcare and went on to ask construction companies to forego any additional orders of the masks so they would be available for those who need them in the healthcare sector.
