Supermarkets are trying to ensure they have adequate supplies of FFP2 respirator masks, the retail chain spokesperson confirmed following the introduction of tougher anti-pandemic measures. The government announced on February 28 that FFP2 respirators will be obligatory to wear when entering shops and public transport. They will also be required indoors in public spaces.
“We have been intensively communicating for a long time with suppliers in an attempt to reach the best possible price and also the biggest possible amounts, as FFP2 respirators are part of our permanent offer,” said Tomáš Bezák, head of communication at Lidl Slovakia, as quoted by the TASR newswire.
