[Explanation] Since March 28, Xiamen citizens can go to the city's multiple sales outlets to purchase masks by themselves, and the personal mask reservation purchase system that has been implemented for nearly two months has also stopped.
[Explanation] Faced with the sudden attack of new crown virus, masks have become the "standard" for personal protection. At the beginning of the epidemic, due to insufficient demand and capacity, masks faced a shortage. In order to protect the supply and protect the health of the people, Xiamen City first launched the mask reservation lottery system on February 1st, online registration, notarization lottery, and offline purchase by time. The implementation of the system in the past two months has provided parity masks to more than 2 million citizens, which not only ensured the fair and orderly distribution of masks, but also eased the excessive supply and demand situation.
