Mayor Bill de Blasio projected that over 300,000 gowns will be produced by the end of April.
New York City has set up a production line at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to make surgical gowns for health-care workers. Crye Precision, a design and manufacturing firm with its headquarters in the Navy Yard, is partnering with Lafayette 148 and other sewing shops on the initiative.
“New Yorkers band together in a crisis — and this production line is exactly the kind of solidarity that will get us through this. Day by day, we are assessing what we need to keep our frontline workers safe — and the ability to produce protective equipment here in New York City is critical,” he said.
