This is a notable content in Official Dispatch 953/QLD-KD regarding the use of face masks for the prevention and control of acute respiratory infection caused by nCOV, issued by the Drug Administration on February 5, 2020.

To be specific, for retail pharmaceutical establishments nationwide, the Drug Administration Department encourages the reception and free distribution of masks to the public.

At the same time, the Department also requires that when selling or distributing masks to the public, retail pharmaceutical establishments should guide the public on when to use fabric masks and when to use medical masks (not every situation requires the use of medical masks); instruct the public on the proper way to wear masks according to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health.

Specifically, the Department also emphasizes that retail pharmaceutical establishments nationwide should not increase the price of masks; should not hoard or stockpile masks causing a shortage in the market.
