Imports of protective masks from Germany totaled € 6,000 million

Imports of protective masks from Germany totaled 6 billion euros in 2020, reported the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) of that country.

To begin with, the year 2020 will always be associated with the use of protective masks in Germany.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, a new product appeared in German trade with foreign countries.

Almost all of these protective masks were imported from the People’s Republic of China.

In April and May 2020 alone, masks worth € 3.5 billion were imported from China.

In June and July, Germany imported masks worth another 1.4 billion euros from China.

This means that 80% of the imports of protective masks in 2020 were made between April and July.

Masks should be used as part of a comprehensive strategy of measures to suppress transmission and save lives; Wearing a mask alone is not enough to provide adequate protection against Covid-19.
