The epidemic of new coronaviruses continues and the supply of protective equipment such as masks is in short supply. Many companies in Hong Kong have set up factories locally to produce masks.

New World Development announced today (6th) that it will successively set up production lines to produce medical masks from mid-April. It is expected to produce 7 million masks per month. In addition, New World will distribute 10 million "Made in HK" masks for free from the end of this month to the beginning of July, and set up a "self-service mask extraction machine" at the designated centers under 8 non-profit organizations for pre-registration And vulnerable groups.

Set up 35 self-service mask extraction machines, free of charge

New World Development refers to the participation of eight non-profit organizations in the first phase of the plan, including St. James ’Settlement, Salvation Army, Hong Kong Lutheran Social Service, Hong Kong Children ’s Association, Christian Hong Kong Lutheran Church Social Service, Hong Kong Community Organization Association, Neighbourhood Counselling Association and Hong Kong Young Women ’s Christian Association. New World Development will set up a self-service mask extraction machine at the designated centers under the above institutions. The pre-registered grassroots and vulnerable groups can use the "mask extraction card" to extract 1 pack of 5 masks every week during the opening hours of the designated center. . New World Development is expected to install a total of 35 mask extraction machines and distribute at least 2 million masks.

The "mask extraction card" is printed with a separate QR code, requiring people to register, but will not contain their information. In addition, the New World Development Association, through other non-profit organizations and social welfare organizations, distributes masks to those in need through traditional channels. It is expected that millions of masks will be donated.

The production of masks from April to June is mainly for donations

New World will produce high-quality medical masks in Hong Kong from mid-April. The first two production lines will soon be in trial production, and the other two production lines will also be in production in May. After full production, it is estimated that more than 7 million masks can be manufactured every month. During the period from April to June, most of the masks produced by the group will be used for donations, and the rest will be used for the company's operations.

Zheng Zhigang, executive vice chairman and general manager of New World Development, said that the self-acquisition arrangement can help more grassroots citizens and save them from the fear of lack of masks. As for whether the plan will be extended or expanded in the future, it is necessary to review the operation of the first phase.
