Kemenkes Pastikan Stok Masker di Distibutor dan Produsen Aman
Kemenkes memastikan stok masker di tingkat produsen dan distributor masih mencukupi serta telah mendistribusikan lebih dari 100.000 masker N95, masker medis, dan alat kesehatan lainnya ke wilayah terdampak abu vulkanik Gunung Anak Krakatau seperti Lampung, Banten, Jawa Barat, dan Jakarta. Masyarakat diimbau tidak melakukan panic buying dan menggunakan masker medis jika masker N95, KN95, atau KF94 belum tersedia. Kemenkes juga mengancam akan memberikan sanksi pidana atau administratif hingga pencabutan izin usaha bagi pelaku yang menimbun atau menaikkan harga masker secara tidak wajar.
