Coronavirus - Hungary self-sufficient in manufacturing medical masks

Hungary has become self-sufficient in manufacturing medical-grade masks that protect against the coronavirus, Finance Minister Mihaly Varga said at the launch of a production line turning out one million masks a day at the plant of Vajda Papir in Dunafoldvar, in central Hungary. The 1.4 billion forint (EUR 3.9m) investment supported by a 1.1 billion government grant has created 16 new jobs and preserved 134, the finance ministry cited Varga as saying on Wednesday.
