And the FFP2 are going like hotcakes at a time when the Covid-19 is panicking (more than 261,000 positive cases in the last twenty-four hours).

This Friday, these masks in the shape of "duckbills" are for example no longer available on the online catalogs of Carrefour and E. Leclerc.

They offer eight hours of protection, which is twice as much as surgical masks and better protect the wearer from external contamination.

It's great that supermarkets offer protective equipment at cost price.
