(Fighting new crown pneumonia) Germany detains 240,000 masks from Swiss companies
China News Agency, Berlin, March 8th (Reporter Peng Dawei) According to Swiss media reports, 240,000 masks transported by truck by a Swiss company were detained by German customs at the Swiss-German border. Officials in Switzerland have said they have summoned the German ambassador to Switzerland and have protested against the export ban on masks imposed by Germany.
Due to the rapid development of the domestic epidemic, the German Federal Government announced a new decree on the 4th of this month, prohibiting the export of medical protective equipment (masks, gloves, protective clothing, etc.) to foreign countries, with exceptions allowed only in individual cases such as international aid operations .
According to the Swiss "Zurich Sunday" published on the 8th, the truck owned by the Swiss company was loaded with 240,000 masks and was intercepted by German customs before entering Switzerland.The Swiss Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Swiss foreign economic and trade affairs authority, informed the newspaper that it was in contact with the affected Swiss companies. The Swiss Federal Economic Administration also revealed that the above-mentioned 240,000 masks were "not a case". A spokesman for the department, Mein Fisch, said it had information on German trucks detained by several transport masks.

The Swiss Federal Economic Administration also confirmed to the Sunday Zurich that the Swiss side had summoned the German ambassador to Switzerland and protested against the German export ban on masks.
The number of infected people has risen rapidly since the first confirmed case was announced in Switzerland on February 25. According to information released by the Swiss Federal Health Service on the 8th, a total of 332 nucleic acid tests were positive in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and two people in Switzerland have died of new coronary pneumonia. The Swiss media pointed out that Germany's measures to restrict the export of masks have seriously affected Switzerland, because the latter produces almost no medical consumables. These products are produced in countries mainly based in China, and then re-sold by Swiss companies to Switzerland The company is transported by Swiss companies from Germany to Switzerland. Now, because Germany's export ban applies to EU countries and non-EU countries (Switzerland has not joined the EU), Switzerland's supply chain has been cut off. (Finish)

German customs authorities have blocked the export of a truck filled with 240,000 protective masks to Switzerland, which Swiss authorities have said is part of a broader export ban on protective gear.

Switzerland has called for an emergency meeting with the German ambassador about the issue. As reported by the NZZ, State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) on Sunday called upon “German authorities to release the blocked masks immediately”.
The situation is particularly severe for Switzerland as the country produces very little protective gear.
SECO said a truck with 240,000 masks on board was commandeered before it left German soil by customs authorities. SECO added that the interception does not appear to be an isolated incident, with all further transports likely to be blocked.
German government on Wednesday banned the export of medical protective equipment such as goggles, respiratory masks, protective suits and gloves. France has made a similar order.

Hospitals and nursing homes are concerned about the supply of masks in coming weeks, as the stock is already below optimal levels.
In a press conference on Sunday, the Head of Communicable Diseases Division at the Swiss Federal Office for Public Health said the country has a reserve of two different types of masks, some of which have been distributed to health centres already.
On the diplomatic dispute with Germany regarding the import of masks, Koch said simply “We are trying to buy masks and protection material.”
Avoiding 'mask hysteria'
Health officials have frequently told the general public that healthy people should not wear masks and to refrain from purchasing them as they make it more difficult for sick people and medical professionals to access them.
According to the WHO, around 80 percent of people who contract the new coronavirus recover without needing special treatment.
Around one out of every six people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing.
Some 3.4 percent of cases are fatal, according to the latest WHO figures. Older people and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness.
