TOKYO - Some 300,000 coronavirus masks sent to pregnant women in Japan as part of a government handout have been found to be faulty, media reports said, the latest in a string of complaints about how
the government has dealt with the pandemic.
By Tuesday, the number of defective masks distributed to pregnant women had risen to 300,000 out of 500,000, public broadcaster NHK reported. "It's of top priority to guarantee the quality of the masks so pregnant women can use them with relief," he said. On Monday, chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said the government had verified that an additional company, Yusebio, had also supplied masks which were sent to pregnant women.
"There is no problem with the quality of our masks," the company president was quoted by NHK as saying. The firm could not immediately be reached for contact.
