The New England Patriots are doing their part in the war against coronavirus (COVID-19), most recently helping out in a big way.
There’s a shortage of N95 masks — as well as COVID-19 test kits — so the Patriots are doing their part to help rectify that issue.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft had the team plane depart early Wednesday morning for China, and it will bring back 1.2 million N95 masks.
