Pedro Sánchez affirmed that one of the most immediate objectives of the Executive is to ensure the supply of masks and other materials and did not rule out setting their price, as recommended by the Collegiate Pharmaceutical Organization a few days ago. "We are going to guarantee the provision of masks and gels that we need for hygiene to the extent possible for workers and the general population as a whole," explained the chief executive during his appearance.


Sánchez said that "controlled prices" of these materials will be established so that the most vulnerable groups can access these protection materials. It is a requirement of this Government. it is a right that citizens have, "he stressed. In this way you also want to end the speculation of a product that is almost impossible to get and dubious prices.

The Big Mistake

Sánchez avoided ruling on the widespread use of masks in the population. An idea that was not ruled out on Friday by the Minister of Health, Salvador Illa , although the information on the ministry's website still advises that the mask should only be used "when there are symptoms (cough, fever, shortness of breath) or coronavirus infection" . The same is stated by the World Health Organization. But this approach begins to have detractors. The director general of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, George Gao, said in an interview in Science magazine that "the big mistake in the United States and Europe is that people don't wear face masks."
