Andrej Babis

Czech Health Minister Adam Vojtech (for ANO) has asked hospitals to stockpile 1.5 million face masks, enough for four months, because of the coronavirus threat, PM Andrej Babis (ANO), photo, told journalists today during his visit in the region, on Wednesday, February 26, 2020. Babis said he called on the Czech Medical Chamber to make sure that pharmacies around the country also have enough face masks, but also to secure enough respirators that are actually efficient in preventing coronavirus infection. The PM added that manufacturers, hospitals and pharmacies are also cooperating to prevent the situation from being abused by resellers. Babis visited the Batist Medical company, based in Cerveny Kostelec, one of the largest manufacturers of face masks in the country, now planning to open another assembly line and increase its monthly output by 50 percent to roughly 1.5 million face masks. Batist Medical also plans to begin production of thicker face masks equipped with nanofibers. (CTK Photo/David Tanecek)
