Greek drug industry says COVID-19 supplies are adequate
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The heads of Greece's pharmaceuticals industry on Thursday assured the Minister of Health Vasilis Kikilias that there are adequate supplies of medicines required to deal with a potential outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19.
Regarding the sufficiency of expendable supplies like face masks, which are reportedly becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, ministry officials said that a facemasks factory in northern Greece has been instructed to halt exporting the product and instead push these exclusively into the domestic market.
It was also noted that China, one of the biggest manufacturers of face masks, has temporarily stopped exporting them.
