The Wuhan pneumonia (COVID-19, 2019 new coronavirus) epidemic has developed so far. In addition to hoping that the epidemic will subside as soon as possible and the public can return to their normal daily lives, people in Taiwan still have to maintain a stock of masks at home at all times to cover their daily needs for work and commuting. We have introduced a variety of different mask purchase inquiry tools before. This time we will introduce a no-download App, “Anti-Epidemic Mask” that allows you to directly check the pharmacy’s mask inventory on your computer or mobile phone using the web version.
A handful of masks for epidemic prevention: a super easy-to-use mask purchasing query tool, which instantly shows the remaining quantity of masks for adults and children at a glance
The “anti-epidemic mask” introduced today was developed by Polstar Technology, which develops navigation software many years ago.Computer King Ada also introduced the Polnav mobile navigation software App they developed , this App is also widely praised by users.

After opening the “Anti-epidemic Mask” webpage, the user will first be asked whether to allow access to the current location (GPS). If you click Allow, the nearest health insurance pharmacies with masks in stock will be directly displayed based on the user’s location. Users can also set their own center points and search with keywords such as attraction names, county and city names, etc. that are convenient for purchasing locations. It is also very intuitive to use.
In addition to using “distance” as the priority display order by default, people who specifically want to buy adult masks or children’s masks can also find the best place to buy faster through different filtering methods. As many primary and secondary schools across the country are about to start school in the near future, I believe many parents are also eager to buy children’s masks to meet the demand for school openings. The Central Epidemic Command Center announced on the 17th that it will increase the supply of real-name masks. Starting from February 20 (Thursday), all bases across the country (including National Health Insurance pharmacies and health clinics) will originally provide 200 adult masks and 50 children’s masks per day, to 400 adult masks and 200 children’s masks per day. Children’s masks.
The total supply of real-name masks nationwide is expected to increase from the original 1.65 million pieces per day to 3.96 million pieces per day, including 2.64 million adult masks and 1.32 million children’s masks, and the number of people served will double from the original 825,000 to 1.65 million per day.
Note: The latest purchase method for adult masks is still two pieces within 7 days.，Starting from February 20, the purchase method for children’s masks will be changed to four pieces within 7 days.(Limited to purchase of health insurance cards for children under 12 years old).
On the pharmacy information page, not only the phone number, address, and business hours of the pharmacy are organized, but also the mask sales hours provided by the pharmacy are displayed, so that the public can quickly understand the best time to purchase masks at each pharmacy. In addition, there are also references for today’s first transaction and yesterday’s last transaction, which are suitable for preliminary judgment of mask sales time (the first and last transaction numbers are retrieved by the system).
The page also provides today’s real-time sales curve and yesterday’s complete sales curve, from the first transaction to the last, allowing users to initially judge whether they are queuing on the spot or getting a number plate, and can judge from whether the curve is flat or falling sharply. You can also find on the curve chart that there are still people buying before closing every day, but they are not sold out in the end. The most likely reason is that they received the number tag but did not come to buy it in the end because of something else.
In addition, some pharmacies will keep number plates until they open after a fixed time, which can also be seen from the graph.However, it is still recommended that you confirm the exact time and mask inventory status with the pharmacy before departure.At the bottom of the page, there is also the Google map location of the pharmacy. Users can click to directly enter Google Maps to quickly open the navigation function:
If you are sure that the pharmacy’s mask inventory is normal and can arrive in time during business hours, you can directly start the navigation and go to the pharmacy to buy masks!
