The Patriots’ team plane is delivering more than a million masks from China to Massachusetts
The original order included 1.7 million N95 masks, but not all of them could be transported in one trip on the plane. The remaining masks are being held securely in China and will be transported shortly on another shipment, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“I’ve never seen so much red tape in so many ways and obstacles that we had to overcome,” Kraft told the Wall Street Journal. “In today’s world, those of us who are fortunate to make a difference have a significant responsibility to do so with all the assets we have available to us.”
The Kraft family contributed $2 million, a sum that covers approximately half the cost of the goods, according to Journal’s report. Robert Kraft told the Wall Street Journal that he was “moved” by the leadership of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and pledged to send 300,000 of the masks to the state, with the agreement of Baker.
