Virgin Group founder Richard Branson is the latest business mogul who has pledged to aid the state of California’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a press briefing on Tuesday evening, Governor Gavin Newsom announced Branson will lend a 747 aircraft from Virgin Atlantic’s fleet to coronavirus relief efforts in the Bay Area.

Newsom said the state plans to announce specifics of the arrangement later this week, but indicated Branson has freed up a Virgin aircraft to bring personal protective equipment (PPE) from China to Oakland International Airport.

“Sir Richard Branson is now partnering, as Tim Cook and did and Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX, just another individual that has stepped up,” Newsom said. “Virgin is stepping up, bringing a 747 into the Bay Area, to Oakland.”

Newsom said Monday the state is working to procure 1 billion medical gloves, 500 million N95 masks, and 200 million face shields, the equipment used by first responders to protect themselves from the virus. The governor said California would look to purchase the equipment from around the world and mentioned China as a potential supplier.

Newsom indicated the equipment coming in from overseas will be used by Kaiser Permanente, which is headquartered in Oakland and operates hospitals around the Bay Area.

“Bringing that from Asia into the Bay Area to help support our efforts and to help support one of our largest hospital systems, Kaiser, in that process,” Newsom said.

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, has worked with the state and federal government to donate protective face masks for healthcare workers. Two days after Newsom announced Apple had pledged to providing 1 million masks, vice president Mike Pence said in a White House press briefing Tuesday that Apple is donating 9 million face masks to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

Newsom said Monday that Musk, the founder of SpaceX and the co-founder of Tesla, had delivered 1,000 ventilators to the Los Angeles area to help treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

At this point, it remains unclear whether the medical equipment that will travel from Asia to the Bay Area on Branson’s Virgin aircraft will also be donated by the British billionaire.

“We worked on logistics related to that for significant enhancement of personal protective gear,” Newsom said. “We’ll have more details on that in the next day or two. Just another point of emphasis, another example and indication of the people that are stepping up in heroic ways.”
