Merck & Co. said Sunday that it had donated half a million
protective masks to New York City to help fight the spread of
coronavirus in the world's financial center.
The Kenilworth, N.J.-based pharmaceutical company said the masks
were delivered Sunday morning to New York City Emergency

emergencies such as the coronavirus.
The State of New York has reported at least 15,793 cases of
Covid-19, or close to half of the U.S. total, according to The Wall
