Earlier today, we reported that LEGO was helping out with the COVID-19 situation by developing protective eyewear for medical professionals and just now, they have released a video of process. In the video below, molding machines crank out visors and more than 100 employees help assemble and package them up for shipment. Their plan is to expand production of the eyewear to other factories around the world.

Various companies have been going out of their way to help during the Coronavirus pandemic and LEGO has stepped into the fray as well. Colleagues on the LEGO Ambassador Network has mentioned that the Region of Southern Denmark (Syddanmark) Facebook Page has posted images of a new protective eyewear that LEGO developed for medical professionals to use as part of their personal protective equipment. Currently organizations such as the Odense University Hospital and Sygehus Lillebælt have been using them and so far it’s been working well and have become part of their regular equipment.

It may not seem like a lot to us but for the medical profession, it’s invaluable at this point. You may remember that LEGO also launched a couple of campaigns last week to help with the COVID-19 situation including donating $50 million to support children in need. It’s good to see companies using their time and resources to help out others when they don’t really have to.

LEGO has announced they will be opening a new LEGO flagship store in Shenzhen City, Guangdong, China later this year. It will be located in the COCO Park Shopping Center and it will be the fifth flagship store that LEGO has opened in China.
