Un aparat pentru respiraţie care poate fi de mare ajutor, în afara secţiilor de terapie intensivă (ATI), pacienţilor diagnosticaţi cu COVID-19, a fost creat în circa o săptămână de ingineri britanici şi germani. Dispozitivul a fost creat de specialişti de la University College London (UCL), UCLH din Londra şi Mercedes Formula One. China şi Italia le-au folosit pentru a ajuta pacienţii COVID-19 să poată respira. Primele rapoarte din Lombardia (Italia) sugerează că aproximativ 50% dintre pacienţii care au folosit CPAP nu au mai avut nevoie de ventilaţie mecanică invazivă. 40 de astfel de măşti CPAP au fost livrate către ULCH şi alte trei spitale londoneze.
