Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit wants to know why many hospitals have not yet received fresh supplies of protective facemasks.

 

He said on Wednesday (March 4) he’d asked the Public Health Ministry, Food and Drug Administration and Government Pharmaceutical Organisation to review distribution with the Department of Internal Trade to make sure all hospitals are adequately supplied.

 

Medical personnel are playing a crucial role in checking the spread of the Covid-19 virus and are at far greater risk than anyone else of being infected, Jurin stressed, even if public demand for the masks cannot be neglected.

 

With 11 factories working full out to produce 1.2 million masks a day, the Commerce Ministry will on Thursday have 20 vans selling them in busy areas of Bangkok for Bt2.5 each, he announced.

 

“The ministry has ordered all 11 factories to operate 24 hours a day for the next week,” he added.

 

In rural areas, the Department of Local Administration is responsible for producing 150 million masks a day and distributing them to the public, he said.

Ask your colleague Anutin ....

Masks are ineffective ! Read about the medical  advise from uk medical scientists,. Know more about it than these 3rd Thai politicians seeking publicity!

"Hurry up, we've got Shares in these companies"

 

 

Very strange... all of the pharmacies here on Samui have signs in the window ... Lots of N95 masks and Hand gell in stock"

 

Seems Morya Pharmacies have better supply chains than National Hospitals.
