NEW YORK â The U.S. Defense Department is working on providing the direly needed oxygen to India which is in the grip of a Covid-19 surge and Washington may be able to reroute shipments to India, according to Joe Biden s spokesperson Jen Psaki.
The U.S. has also identified commercial suppliers of Remdesivir who can immediately provide the Covid-19 medicine to India, she said April 26 during her briefing. Department of Defense and USAID are pursuing options to provide oxygen generation systems (and) we may be in a position to reroute shipments meant for other countries with lower immediate needs, given the urgency of the conditions in India, she said.
