In order to improve the current panic buying situation, which has caused a shortage of masks and left many people in need unable to buy them, the government recently announced the implementation of a “real-name mask sales system” starting from 2/6. Masks will only be sold at designated pharmacies with health insurance, and buyers must also show their health insurance card. (Starting from 2/4, 7-11 and drug stores will also stop selling masks)

Finally, I would like to remind you that each health insurance card can only purchase 2 masks (a total of 10 yuan) within 7 days, and each person can only purchase masks once a week. In other words, you can help your family or relatives to purchase masks, but only once a week.
