Coronavirus: Sanitizers, masks, gloves declared essential commodities in India

India TV News  

The government on Friday declared masks, including N95, and hand sanitizers as ''essential commodities'' in the wake of the coronavirus scare leading to shortages and black marketing of these items. These items will remain under the essential commodities segment till June-end, a move aimed at ensuring availability at reasonable prices and cracking down on hoarders/black marketeers. The government has notified an order under the Essential Commodities Act to declare masks and hand santizers as essential commodities up to June 30, 2020. The step has been taken in view of the "ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 and concern of the logistics for COVID-19 management, particularly during last couple of weeks, and that masks and hand sanitizers have been noted to either not available with most of the vendors in the market or are available with difficult difficulty at exorbitant prices," said the government order.
