Don't relax, the situation is still grim

570 million pieces produced in 20 days

At the press conference of the State Council on February 24, Cong Liang, a member of the party group and secretary general of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that as of February 22, the daily output of China's masks had reached 54.77 million, an increase of 2.8 times over February 1. A total of 570 million masks have been produced in the past 20 days.

At present, except for Tibet, 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have successively added new mask production lines, and at the same time, new mask production lines have been put into production.

According to Cong Liang, after hard work, the daily output of N95 on February 22 has reached 919,000, which is 8.6 times that of February 1.

Since February, through the national unified dispatch, 3.3 million masks have been dispatched from the provinces producing N95 masks. The focus is to protect Wuhan, Hubei, and other regions including Beijing and other regions without N95 production capacity. Among them, medical N95 masks transferred to Wuhan 2.68 million.

Recently, the daily dispatch volume is more than 150,000. In addition to local production in Wuhan, it can supply more than 300,000 medical N95 masks every day, which can fully protect the protection needs of more than 60,000 first-line medical staff.

In addition, recently the focus of the country's guarantee supply has gradually shifted to ordinary medical masks. Cong Liang said that it will make efforts in three aspects to fully promote the resumption of production, to fully support the increase of production and capacity, and to fully guarantee the coordinated operation of the entire industrial chain.

Among them, in support of increasing production and capacity, special work on medical mask capacity expansion has been launched since February this year. Three groups of companies have been organized to increase production, expand production, and switch production through technological transformation to increase the supply of masks. In the next step, we will continue to strengthen policy support based on the needs of epidemic prevention and control.

Ten categories of medical equipment, urgently needed

At the launch conference of the State Council Office on February 24, Tian Yulong, a member of the party group and chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced the recent medical equipment and other related materials.

Tian Yulong said that in terms of medical equipment, there are ten categories of medical equipment urgently needed. Because there are more severe patients, including negative pressure ambulances, ventilators, ECG monitors, and various thermometers, they basically meet the urgent needs of the frontline.

For example, more than 10,000 ventilators and monitors arrived in Wuhan, and nearly 140,000 hand-held thermometers have played an important role in medical treatment.

According to Tian Yulong, in terms of the supply of medical protective clothing, the daily output on January 28 was less than 10,000 sets. So far, the daily output has reached more than 200,000 sets. There were less than 20 production enterprises at the beginning, and now more than 50 have been expanded and converted, and nearly 100 companies have successively obtained new qualifications and are beginning to start construction.

At present, the number of medical protective clothing supplied to Hubei has exceeded 2 million, and the production scale of isolation clothing is relatively large. At present, the number of protective clothing in Wuhan and Hubei has reached more than 700,000, and medical isolation eye masks and face masks have been produced. The daily output has reached 40,000. , Which also effectively protects the urgent needs ahead.

In terms of killing supplies, the resumption rate of enterprises is also relatively high, and now exceeds 80%. The production capacity and output of 84 disinfectant, disposable sanitizer, and medical alcohol disinfection products can meet the urgent needs of Hubei frontline and even the country. Now, more than 1,500 tons of 84 disinfectant and 115 tons of disposable disinfectant are shipped to Hubei.

However, the current epidemic situation is still severe, and prevention and control are still at the most critical stage.

Tian Yulong said that it should be said that the medical material security work is still quite arduous. The resumed and resumed production of medical material enterprises needs to continue to have stable and high-quality guarantees. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will work with other departments to coordinate the work of epidemic prevention and resumed production and continue. Promote the coordinated resumption and production of key material companies' upstream and downstream industrial chains in an orderly manner.
