Min says Russian companies already make 8 mln masks per day

MOSCOW, Apr 17 (PRIME) -- Russian companies top the plan of the Industry and Trade Ministry and already produce more than 8 million masks per day, Minister Denis Manturov said Friday, as cited by the ministry in a statement.

"More than 8 million masks alone per day are produced. This is more than we’ve promised to make by the end of the month," Manturov said.

Manturov also called on the heads of the regions to minimize obstacles for selling first-priority items, in particular not to restrict truck transportation.
