Apple doubles its COVID-ID recovery efforts in China

Apple more than doubled its donation to China’s efforts to fight COVID-19 to over 50 million yuan ($7 million), according to Reuters.

Apple has already donated 20 million yuan of its promised amount through Beijing-based China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation to support six hospitals in Hubei, including the makeshift Leishenshan hospital in Wuhan and will contribute the rest of the money to support longer-term public health recovery efforts, according to CEO Tim Cook.

“China has shown incredible spirit and resilience during the COVID-19 outbreak and we are grateful to our teams, partners and customers for their support during these challenging times,” he said in a message on China’s Twitter equivalent Weibo.
