1.我国口罩产能产量破亿 Daily mask output exceeds 110M
China is working hard to boost the production of masks, and the output has been growing rapidly, according to the country's top economic regulator. China's daily production capability of masks was well over 110 million units as of Saturday, effectively closing the gap between supply and demand amid the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said on Monday.
国家发改委2日表示，我国正在努力提高口罩产量，且口罩产量产能一直在迅速增长。截至2月29日，我国口罩日产能达1.1亿只以上，有效地填补了新冠病毒肺炎疫情期间的供需缺口。
According to NDRC, Saturday's output of masks reached 116 million, which was 12 times the number on Feb 1. China is able to serve front-line medical workers' demand for urgently needed N95 medical masks, as 1.66 million N95 medical masks were produced per day in the country, and the daily production capacity reached 1.96 million units, the commission said.
