To address the surging risk of pneumonia and local demand, the Taiwanese government has issued an export ban for two types of masks between Jan. 24 and Feb. 23. The masks affected by the ban include N95 respirator masks, which can filter at least 94 percent of particles, as well as other masks made from textiles.
Taiwan's Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) on Tuesday (Jan. 21) assured the public that the government had sufficient stocks of surgical and N95 masks and that there is no need to overstock. However, just three days later, the government has banned the sale of the masks to other countries.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs recently told the media that Taiwanese mask manufacturers can produce a daily maximum of 2.44 million units, which surpasses the local demand of 1.3 million per day.

Wonder if Taiwan has a big smile on thier face when they tell China we ain’t helping you!
Could it be far bigger than just prescriptions and supplements from China?
I keep reading that “enveloped” viruses like coronavirus can last up to 24 hours in the environment. What if it’s 48 or 72 hours? How long does it take for products made in China to get on our shelves?
>> Only 91% kills viruses.
Nothing worse than an intoxicated virus.
Weeks and months for most things. Air freight is used for some electronics and urgent parts. But most things are shipped in containers.
I posted a statement yesterday from an industrial isopropyl manufacturer saying that 91% as a virucide is no more efficacious than is 70%.
