The coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China, has now infected 9000 people and killed 200. It has now spread across the globe, and the World Health Organisation has called it a health emergency. Fear of contracting the disease is so much that people want to do anything for it. And more and more people are buying medical mask from reputed sellers. That has led to the scarcity of face masks in the market.
Medical professionals recommend staying away from the infected and washing your hands regularly. That will do the trick and prevent the contraction of the disease.
People want to take every possible step to keep coronavirus away. That’s why they are buying the respirators or the face masks at even higher prices. Pacingmed and BLBM, the biggest suppliers in Amazon have run out of face masks.
Walmart is also sold out of 3M, N95 masks. While the reputed sellers are out of the face masks, other sellers are selling the masks at prices as high as $7. Vadomiguel and Nice Components are selling the products at high prices. Nice Components’ face masks are $50 for ten masks. Another company, Calendars, and More is selling ten masks at $69.
Such high prices of face masks trouble the health professionals. They are also concerned that people who don’t even need the masks use it; people who need it can’t have it. Medical professionals who treat the disease, and people with respiratory diseases need the masks. If workers do not have the masks, they are more likely to spread the disease.
