The situation in Europe is not optimistic either.           
 As one of the hardest hit areas, the FFP2 masks sold in pharmacies in Spain were sold at a price of up to 300 euros, equivalent to 2200 yuan. When it comes to the shortage of medical supplies, a Spanish health minister couldn't help but cry at the conference and couldn't continue.            
Masks and hand sanitizers are also in demand in France. Earlier, the French health minister said at a press conference that France still has 86 million masks in reserve, while the consumption of masks in France is about 24 million per week. According to this calculation, France's reserve masks can only last for about three weeks. According to reports, the government has issued a price limit order for hand sanitizer, which stipulates that the price of 100 ml of hand sanitizer should not exceed 3 euros.            
The situation in the UK is also worrisome. Since confirmed cases in the UK, masks and hand sanitizers have been snapped up in most offline and online pharmacies, and the price of the products has also risen. According to netizens, a box of 50 pieces of disposable medical masks in British pharmacies costs 320 pounds (2647 yuan) and 53 yuan for a single piece.            
Let alone Italy, which is the worst hit area in Europe. According to the report, the price of Italian masks soared from 10 euro cents (0.76 yuan) to 10 euros (76 yuan), and the price of 1000 mm disinfectant single bottle also increased from 7 euros (53 yuan) to 39 euros (296 yuan). The Italian government also intervened in the investigation because businesses used the epidemic to drive up prices.
