Spain cuts price of masks to €0.62
Spain’s health ministry has lowered the price cap on sanitary masks used to curb COVID-19 contagions to €0.62 per mask.
The cut in the price cap takes into account the government’s decision on Tuesday to cut value-added tax on single-use masks to 4% from 21%, which came into effect on Thursday.
It was the second cut in the maximum retail price for single-use masks in a week as the cap had already been lowered late last week from 96 cents.
