What should I do if I don’t have a mask?

The "war epidemic" of COVID-19 continues. This epidemic sweeping the country has caused more than 2,000 deaths and the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeds 76,000.

Currently, masks are still in short supply. On the one hand, there is a huge demand for masks on the anti-epidemic front line, and most of the masks produced are sent directly to the anti-epidemic front line.

Secondly, medical masks are sterilized with ethylene oxide, and the residue of this substance will irritate the respiratory tract. Therefore, it takes 14 days to analyze after production to release the residual ethylene oxide.

At the same time, in order to prevent unscrupulous merchants from taking advantage of this opportunity to drive up prices, the government has controlled the flow of masks, and you need to make an appointment in advance at designated pharmacies to buy masks.

In order to alleviate the problem of purchasing masks, many regions have successively opened channels for making reservations and purchasing masks. The following are some of the official channels for online mask reservations that I have compiled.

May the cold winter of the epidemic end soon, and let us welcome the warmth of spring together.
