Lviv, October 31 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukrainian enterprises will in three or four days start to produce up to one million face masks a day, Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko has said.

“I held the necessary talks, and we’ll soon involve two state-run enterprises, and within three or four days they will produce up to one million gauze masks a day,” he said at a council in Lviv on Saturday.

He also ordered local government agencies to shut all markets.
