Masks Are Urgent And Hard To Find? Just Now, The Ministry Responded.
As the "first line of defense" for personal hygiene protection, it is very important to wear masks that meet epidemic prevention standards. Recently, some media reported the urgent news of masks, and some hospitals also asked for help on the problem of medical masks. In this regard, the responsible comrades of the relevant departments of the Ministry of industry and information technology were interviewed by the website of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Q: what is the productivity of domestic masks? Can meet the national epidemic prevention and control needs?
Responsible comrades of the Ministry of industry and information technology: China is the world's largest producer and exporter of masks. Its annual output accounts for about 50% of the world's total. The maximum production capacity of respirators in China is about 20000000 per day. With the spread of the epidemic, the demand for respirators has increased dramatically. Now many people in remote rural areas are beginning to wear masks. If everyone is in use, they need to be replaced every day. In the face of such a strong demand, it is also reasonable for them to be unable to keep up with them in the short term. The Ministry of industry and information technology is making every effort to overcome all kinds of difficulties and push production enterprises to work overtime to restore production capacity. Through this period of effort, output reached more than 8 million per day, and the resumption of production reached 40%. However, it is necessary to see that recovery and even expansion of production capacity will take time. In addition to domestic production, we are also promoting international procurement to meet the national epidemic prevention and control needs.
Q: since productivity is restored, why can many people still not buy masks?
Responsible comrades of the Ministry of industry and information technology: in the face of the rapid spread of the epidemic, producing more than one mask is an additional safety protection for the people and medical staff. The competent departments and relevant production enterprises did not dare to slack off, so as to speed up the race against time and ensure the supply of key anti epidemic materials such as masks. However, due to the suspension of production during the Spring Festival, most of the workers in the relevant production enterprises return home, stop the supply of raw materials, and stop logistics. Temporary recall of employees to resume production and even emergency expansion of production capacity, to solve funds, workers, raw materials supply and other problems, objectively need a cycle. In addition, there are many non productive factors that restrict the supply of respirators. For example, railway adjustment part of the line, some inter provincial traffic outage logistics and distribution problems. For example, the location of these mask manufacturers is in succession. Local governments have been purchasing a lot, and the amount of outward dispatch is decreasing. To this end, the Ministry of industry and information technology has established a temporary reserve system for state control and prevention materials, directly allocate materials to key production enterprises, and strive to achieve national chess, especially to ensure the supply of front-line areas in Wuhan and other parts of Hubei. With the gradual recovery of mask production in the near future, this tension is expected to gradually ease.
Q: as the world's largest producer and exporter of masks, China's annual output accounts for about 50% of the world's total. Why does such a large capacity do not have enough reserves?
The responsible department of the Ministry of industry and information technology is responsible for the existence of masks. No matter whether they are manufacturers or hospitals, there will not be a lot of stockpile stocks in special circumstances. For N95 masks, protective clothing, etc., hospitals usually do not have large reserves. On weekdays, they will receive masks according to a certain amount, but this amount is enough to protect medical staff themselves. In many hospitals, the stock of medical surgical masks is about a week.
Q: in the face of tight situations such as masks and other epidemic prevention and control of important materials, what measures have been taken by the competent authorities to relieve them?
Responsible comrades of the Ministry of industry and information technology: since the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia, the Party committee of the Ministry of industry and information technology has conscientiously implemented the spirit of Xi Jinping's general secretary and other central leading comrades' instructions, and the requirements of the Central Committee and the State Council for decision making and deployment. After the establishment of the joint prevention and control mechanism, the Ministry of industry and information technology, as the group leader of the material support group, will quickly organize the work of the material support group. The Ministry of industry and information technology has set up a leading group of epidemic prevention and control within the Department, headed by the party secretary and Minister Miao Wei. Our main work is as follows: first, mobilize the national credit system to organize the production enterprises to do everything possible to resume work and resume production. In January 23rd, the Minister of Miao Wei went to Tianjin to investigate the material support production situation. In January 26th, we sent five research teams to Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui and Henan to supervise the research and development; two, to set up a temporary reserve system for national control materials, to directly allocate materials to key production enterprises; three, to guide the electronic business platform to control prices, control flow and put in reasonable supplies; four, to do everything possible to ensure the needs of Hubei's control materials.
At present, during the Spring Festival holiday, the return of employees and transportation of goods and materials restrict the resumption of production. There is still a gap in supply and demand prevention and control, especially the contradiction between supply and demand of medical protective clothing. Next, we will intensify our efforts to urge enterprises to resume production and resume production, enrich personnel strength to supervise the production of key production enterprises, use central reserve to strengthen temporary storage and storage of key materials, and export enterprises in line with relevant foreign standards to protect domestic consumption, and expand international procurement to solve domestic needs.
Q: at present, the masses are particularly concerned about the availability of N95 respirators. What are the best solutions?
Responsible comrades of the Ministry of industry and information technology: we are doing everything possible to ensure production. On the other hand, we appeal to all sectors of society to correctly understand the scientific use of N95 respirators. Prior to the interview with CCTV news 1+1, academician Zhong Nanshan, head of the high level expert group of the National Health Protection Committee, reminded that in fact, the protection of ordinary people in daily life does not necessarily require N95 masks. The general medical respirator can block most of the droplets with viruses into the respiratory tract, and it will be enough in public places. N95 masks are used in close proximity to patients, such as medical staff who have been diagnosed and treated every day and have to wear this for a few hours. So we don't need to hoard N95 mask because of panic. After all, it is a difficult time.
Q: it has been suggested that there are problems with the existence of masks. For example, Wuhan has "closed the city". How can we pass the mask?
Responsible comrades of the Ministry of industry and information technology: we are also coordinating the transportation. At present, Wuhan is the most difficult. For the transportation of some urgent shortage of epidemic prevention materials, railway, aviation and highways have been strongly supported, and there are coordination mechanisms between the state and local governments. In view of the shortage of medical goggles in Wuhan, the Ministry of industry and information technology urgently deployed 20 thousand medical goggles and 5 thousand medical isolation masks from Qingdao, which were airlifted to Wuhan at 20:10 on January 27th. This batch of medical protective materials will be distributed to medical staff as soon as possible by local authorities. In addition, local governments have set up a special window for customs clearance of donated materials, opening up a green channel, and designating one person to pass customs guidance one by one, so as to ensure the smooth arrival of the epidemic prevention materials.
