How is China mitigating the medical supply shortage?

Masks, protective suits and goggles have been in severe shortage in some hospitals, especially in Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak. More and more hospitals are asking help online, calling on citizens around China to donate medical supplies.

Within days, ministry-level government departments, organizations, businesses and people from all walks of life came to their aid to help ease the shortage, and many Chinese abroad are also pitching in by buying protective suits and masks and sending them to Wuhan.
