TOKYO, April 8 (The Japan News/ANN) - The government again called on the business community to cooperate in increasing the production of medical supplies, such as masks and respirators, which have been in short supply because of the spread of the coronavirus.

Although economic organizations are ready to cooperate, there are many issues that need to be tackled, including regulations and technological capabilities.

“The shortage will continue. Countries are fighting [for medical supplies] around the world, ” Kajiyama said, explaining the reason for the current shortage of masks and protective clothing. Health, Labor and Welfare Minister Katsunobu Kato, who was also present at the meeting, said, “We would like other industries to help us.”

Sharp Corp., a major consumer electronics maker, is set to enter the mask production market. Toyota Motor Corp. also said it will start producing “face shields” for medical professionals by using a 3D printer usually used to make prototype car parts.
