NOTE: I added "& UPS" to title, as per article.

FedEx Express, UPS and other cargo carriers say they’re on board with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Project Airbridge to move critical COVID-19 relief supplies into the U.S.

FedEx on Wednesday detailed its participation, including moving more than 450,000 Tyvek protective suits from Vietnam to Texas this week and planning to bring more than 500,000 additional suits each week. The shipment is in coordination with DuPont.

FedEx also is working with Medline Industries Inc. to move personal protective equipment from China to Illinois, including 7 million face masks, additional PPE and anesthesia supplies.
