Washington: In this present era, Corona's havoc has increased so much today that an atmosphere of epidemic and catastrophe has been created everywhere. Due to fear of Corona, there is a fierce battle to buy face masks all over the world. In many countries, where supermarkets and shopkeepers are struggling with shortage of stock, in many countries, standards have been set regarding how many masks a person can buy. E-commerce company Amazon has started monitoring its site to determine the sale of masks. Please tell that the doctors have clearly said that those who are not sick, they do not need to wear it.
Long lines in South Korea: It is also being said that on Thursday, February 27, 2020, hundreds of people appeared in line to buy masks from a discount store in South Korea. There are also rumors that people may use toilet paper and napkins if there is a shortage of face masks, as paper stock in Asia is on the verge of ending. Not only ordinary people, but health workers can also be seen in those who buy face masks. Officials of some companies making face masks believe that this situation is not only responsible for more demand, but also lack of supply interruption.
Stocks of a few days in US hospitals: For information, let us know that a large part of surgical masks are made in China, but there seems to be a decrease in production due to situations like lockout. Many US supermarkets have also seen a sharp jump in mask sales over the past several weeks. It is also being said that America's largest home improvement chain 'Home Depot' has limited 10 face masks per person. An official of the American Society of Health-System said that some hospitals have only one to two weeks of stock of face masks. Major wholesalers are unable to fulfill orders.
