Two million protective masks purchased by Finland from China have turned out to be unsuitable for use in hospitals, AFP reports.
Finland’s health minister, Aino-Kaisa Pekonen, had on Tuesday tweeted a picture of the first shipment of 2m surgical masks and 230,000 respirator masks being unloaded at Helsinki airport on a Finnair flight from Guangzhou in China, saying they would be “checked and tested” before use.
But by Wednesday, officials discovered the face masks did not meet the required standards of protection against coronavirus for use in medical environments.
