Two companies want to start production of face masks in Georgia

Two companies have expressed their desire to produce medical face masks in Georgia, the Ministry of Health told InterPressNews.

The ministry did not specify the names of the companies, saying it did not want to disclose the trade secret.

The Health Ministry noted that the mentioned companies have already received the approval from the Ministry on the production of the face masks.

“They have been tasked by the health ministry to start production as soon as possible," the health ministry's press office said.

Georgia is starting production of face masks because of the shortage of face masks caused by the coronavirus outbreak.
