| The U.S. will continue to need 2.2 billion N95 masks a year, and possibly more, after the Covid-19 pandemic is under control, a top Trump administration official said in an interview with Bloomberg Law. Domestic production for now is meeting the demand for N95s, with about 181 million expected to be produced by the end of January, said Brig. Gen. David Sanford, director of the supply chain task force. A critical item needed to make N95 masks, known as meltblown material, is being made in sufficient quantities to meet current demand, Sanford said, but he is looking for more opportunities to invest in the industry. |
