  • Title: 194 AT COVID-19 Masks production
  • Date: 1st April 2020
  • Description:Austrian companies are shifting workflows to produce protective equipment In Austria, today supermarkets started to hand out face masks before they become compulsory from 6th April on. Some companies are now changing their production to produce protective equipment. In Lower Austria, in the Waldviertel region, one company normally sews towels, but currently, the employees produce face masks. Another company in Lower Austria produces "face visors" with the 3D printer. Also many local traditional clubs are now producing face masks for reuse. They sew them themselves and give them away for free or sell them for a small contribution. It only takes about 15 minutes until a mask is ready. The masks are intended for local suppliers, such as bakeries or butchers. The demand is increasing. The ORF team visited the local tradition club "Goldhaubenfrauen" (gold crested caps women) in Upper Austria.
