How Coronavirus (Covid-19) affected company’s
business process and supply chain?
Supplies of N95 respirators depleted during
pandemics, otherwise in the demand is high.
We can't know a definitive overall number as the
virus spreads across China, but to give an idea of
the scale of the demand, let's start by looking at
the situation in Hubei province, the epicentre of the
outbreak. Just dealing with medical staff alone,
there are an estimated 500,000 across the
province. Medical advice in China is to change face
masks regularly, as often as four times a day for
medical teams, which would require two million
masks each day. This is the procedure being
followed in one of the main hospitals in Wuhan, the
largest city in Hubei province.
