They did not clean N95 masks, the price ranges in tokopedia for N95 are 70-120.000 RP. Simply there was none.

We are all well aware that so many times for PR purposes, what is said and what is actually done is far different.

I still had some FFP2's (I guess officially that is -as N95- called a respirator?) and have the elderly here use them. But in fact it's more to remind others not to come too close.

I refuse to buy them and create a shortage for the healthcare professionals (cf. in Europe).

Not being familiar with the "standard" I google N95.

The designation comes from Occupational health and Safety. They are dust masks.
