According to the Ministry of Economy and Finance in South Korea, around eight million of domestically produced face masks go straight into the public supply per day. While the government is urging mask producers to increase production and banned exports, the ministry announced that all of the 130 face mask producers have a total production output of around ten million masks per day. Due to the high demand of face mask supplies during the coronavirus outbreak, people can buy up to two face masks a week, while being divided into five groups according to their year of birth. Those groups can only buy masks on specific days during the week.
