BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s cabinet on Thursday told firms to resume production of key medical goods for virus controls, amid widespread shortages.
Local governments are responsible for ensuring that local enterprises maintain the supply of protective clothing, face masks, goggles, ambulances and drugs, the State Council said in a statement.
The cabinet said it will be responsible for unified allocation of medical goods and local governments cannot intercept or transfer them.
