Through a press release, the Walloon government announced that it had selected a company from the Fleurus region (Charleroi) to establish a production line for surgical masks.
The government has also selected a group of three companies, two research centers and the CHU de Liège to set up a mask decontamination sector at the Walloon level. ” It is a desire of the Government to respond to the need to have a Walloon production capacity, given the great difficulties of supplying masks on the international market. Wallonia also takes into account the demand for masks over time, but also the need to strategically prepare for the future ”, explains the spokesman for the Walloon government.
It was not specified how many masks will be produced, nor the timeframe for the production of the first masks.
