In just a few hours, the 500 fabric masks received the same morning were all sold. "It's off like hotcakes," says Bruno Fellous, pharmacist in Levallois-Perret (92) who can finally offer his customers the sale of "general public" masks, reusable and washable. After the publication of the Ministry of Health's order on Saturday evening, all pharmacies are now authorized to sell these cloth masks that comply with Afnor standards.
If many pharmacies preferred to wait for the green light from the ministry before placing an order, Bruno had somewhat anticipated. “We were on the job for a fortnight. We had placed pre-orders with suppliers to be able to receive them as soon as possible as soon as the order was published, ”he explains.
Depending on the models, the price of these masks varies. “Here, we currently offer two types. The cheapest is 3.49 euros, the most expensive is 9.99 euros, "said the pharmacist.
