Surgical mask is an essential item in this Covid-19 pandemic. At this time when the market flooded with high priced low-quality single layer masks, just at this time in the national crisis, Minister has brought high-quality triple-layer surgical masks consists of melt-blown fabric, which is almost 99 percent virus resistant. 

Recently, the Department of Medicine Administration of Bangladesh has permitted Minister Hi-Tech Park Limited to manufacture and market "Surgical Mask".

Minister's "Safe Life Surgical Mask" has three layers of protective layer with melt-blown which is 99 percent plus antibacterial. Which will ensure protection from corona virus and other airborne diseases and germs.

Moreover, it is very important to use a mask to prevent the transmission of the ongoing coronavirus. 

Masks are being used in many countries of the world as well as in Bangladesh to prevent this infection. Experts believe that the use of masks can reduce air pollution, sneezing, or coughing and hand-to-mouth infections. However, at present, the supply is much less than the demand for good quality masks. 

That is why Minister has produced this surgical mask with the people in mind at this crisis of the country, which is available in any of the Minister’s outlets at a much higher standard and a more affordable price than other masks available in the market.

Major General Md Mahbubur Rahman, Director General, Drug Administration, Bangladesh, expressed satisfaction over this and said, "Minister Surgical Mask is high quality mask which has triple-layer with melt-blown fabric." He has urged to market these surgical masks at affordable prices.
