Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc approved the export of medical face masks and protective clothing In early April, as long as domestic demand, including reserves, is met first.
Such products can therefore only be exported to countries that have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the country’s health ministry, 68 companies are producing medical face masks and protective clothing. Some garment companies are also investing in producing medical face masks, according to Vietnamese media reports.
The Vietnam Trade Office in the European Union has cautioned that the mass production of medical face masks and protective clothing that do not follow technical standards will cause oversupply and damage if such products cannot be exported.
