100,000 masks from China aiming Italy end up mistakenly in the Czech Republic

 

Authorities in the Czech Republic mistakenly took more than 100,000 protective masks that had been assigned to Italy, the country most affected by the coronavirus.

Czech Foreign Minister Thomas Petricek admitted today that the mistake was unintentional.

The government is finding ways to make sure the masks arrive at the start of the week at the destination.

The masks were dispatched by the Chinese Red Cross society and had to be handed over to the Chinese team in Italy.
