Coronavirus outbreak: Doug Ford says US halting supply of masks to Canada would be "unacceptable"

Описание: Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province ordered roughly three or four million medical masks from American supplier 3M only to have them blocked at the border on Sunday amid the coronavirus pandemic.

But Ford said he was told Monday that 500,000 of those masks are being released to Ontario.

All of this comes on the heels of a statement last week by 3M saying that the Trump administration had ordered the company to stop exporting N95 respirators to Canada and Latin America.

Ford said in interviews with media on Monday morning that an order of three million masks had been blocked at the U.S. border on Sunday.

An Ontario government source then clarified that it was actually 500,000 — not three million — medical masks held up at the border, but said they had since been released.
