August 18, 2020: Federal Minister for Science and Technology Chaudhry Fawad Hussain Tuesday said the federal cabinet today granted permission to export of N-95 and surgical masks.

In a tweet, the minister stated that these were the last items in the list of Personal Protective Equipments (PPEs) that were earlier banned from export.

Chaudhry Fawad said when the first COVID-19 case appeared in Pakistan on February 26, we were importing all PPE items.

But, today, Pakistan has become a major exporter of COVID-19 related items, he added.
