This year, Switzerland's tourism development momentum is very good. Although there are not many food choices in Switzerland, seeing such beautiful scenery and blue sky without smog is also the reason why many tourists flock to it. Because of this, in fact, Swiss people are not used to wearing masks, and Europeans are not used to wearing masks. Switzerland almost relies on imports for other resources, especially cooperation with Germany. Generally, if medical consumables are needed, they are all imported from Germany. German medical consumables are all purchased from countries in the Far East, especially from China. Generally speaking, Germany will buy a lot of medical consumables from China, and then a small country like Switzerland will buy some from Germany and ship them back to China. Because they don't need a lot of consumables, they only need a part. Because of this, when COVID-19 needs a lot of hard currency to buy masks, Germany will definitely meet the domestic demand before exporting. However, it is obvious that the demand for masks in Germany is in short supply and it is impossible to export them to Switzerland.
This time, Germany intercepted a large truck carrying 240,000 masks to Switzerland, which made Switzerland, which was already short of masks, quite dissatisfied and there was friction between the two countries. This time, Switzerland ordered masks directly from China, because the medical staff in Switzerland did not have enough masks. They only change their masks every eight hours, which actually increases the risk of infection.
Fortunately, China began to lend a helping hand to European countries. This time, China sent a large number of medical staff and brought a large number of medical consumables to Italy. In the near future, Switzerland will also be able to get support and supplies.
