China is increasing the production of various medical supplies for the prevention and treatment of “Covid-19” disease, after the country has improved its response to the outbreak of the Corona virus pandemic, according to the New China News Agency (Xinhua), today, Sunday.
Numerous factories across the country are working around the clock to produce masks, antigen test kits, fever and pain relievers, and more, to ensure there is enough supply for those who need them.
The daily production capacity of fever and pain relievers (ibuprofen and paracetamol) exceeded 200 million tablets, while the production volume reached 190 million tablets per day, a level that is four times the capacity recorded in early December. The country also produces 1.12 million bottles of fever-reducing medicines for children daily.
The daily production capacity of antigen test kits for COVID-19 expanded from about 60 million units in early December to about 110 million units by the end of December, an increase of 83 percent.
The production capacity of vaccines against “Covid-19” disease in China currently exceeds 7 billion doses annually, and the production volume has exceeded 5.5 billion doses.
Online distribution of medical supplies through e-commerce platforms has been launched in 11 provincial-level regions, benefiting more than 2 million patients, most of whom are in remote rural areas.
