Under the influence of the new coronavirus, not only masks but also antiseptic solutions are running short. In obstetrics and gynecology clinic in Chiba Prefecture, ethanol used at the time of childbirth and surgery, there is only about two weeks remaining, that do not stand even the prospect of the stock. Commercially available disinfectants and disinfectants are in short supply.
At a disinfectant plant, the number of orders is five times higher than usual, and new customers have to be rejected. On the other hand, the fact that Chinese factories and companies have been mostly shut down has widened the economic impact.
Hyundai Motor in South Korea has decided to suspend operations at its factories in South Korea because it cannot procure electrical components from China. The total damage is expected to be close to 65 billion yen. Izakaya chain Watami has decided to withdraw completely from China by spring. Sales in China have fallen 90% compared to the same period last year. [TV Asahi News]
