Under current rationing measures, adults can only purchase two masks a week when showing their national health insurance card, but with classes at elementary and secondary schools reopening next week, the demand for children’s masks has been increasing.
Classes had been scheduled to resume after the Lunar New Year holiday on Feb. 11, but because of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the government set Feb. 25 as the new date for the return to school.
