随着武汉肺炎疫情持续蔓延，中国人民都纷纷抢购口罩来做自己保护。这导致口罩供不应求的情况。不但中国，其他有发生武汉肺炎的国家也开始缺少口罩了。
根据报导，目前中国和土耳其签了合同。合同内容就是口罩生产订购。为应对新型冠状病毒，中国已经从土耳其订购了两亿个口罩。公司业主说：「我们目前工作24小时来满足需求，一天轮班三次，周日不休班。」
「我们很惊讶。中国已经是世界上口罩生产量最多的国家之一。土耳其一年才生产1.5亿口罩，但中国现在要我们生产两亿口罩。这是非常大的数字。」
有些国家也开始禁止出口口罩。这是因为国家要保护本国的口罩供应能力，也预防口罩价格飙升。

As a result of the continued spread of the Wuhan pneumonia, the citizens of China, one after the other, frenetically buy surgical masks to protect themselves. This has led to a shortage of masks. Not only China but also other countries where the Wuhan pneumonia virus has spread, have started to lack surgical masks.
According to news reports, China and Turkey have now signed a contract. The content is a contract about an order for the production of surgical masks. In response to the novel coronavirus, China has already placed an order of two hundred million surgical masks from Turkey. The business owner says: “We now work around the clock to meet the requirements, with three shifts a day, not taking a break on Sundays.”
“We are very surprised. China is already one of the biggest producer of surgical masks in the world. Turkey only produces 150 million surgical masks per year, but now China wants us to produce 200 million surgical masks. This is a very big number.”
Some countries have forbidden the export of surgical masks. That is because countries need to protect their own capability to offer surgical masks, and also to prevent the price of surgical masks skyrockets.
