China seeks facial masks

Although experts are skeptical of the protective effects these masks offer, however, they are very necessary currently in China.

Although China produces a significant number of masks, about 20 million per day, however, concern has shown that not enough masks are being produced because they must be changed several times a day, the BBC writes.

China has bought about 220 million masks from South Korea, while authorities have removed the fees for distribution of medical equipment, while other countries are expected to contribute to helping China with the problem.
