Beijing seems to have leaped the hump of the epidemic and is facing a downhill battle as long as it can, fingers crossed, prevent imported cases from causing a resurgence of the coronavirus in the capital. Unfortunately, it is very much an uphill battle for some other countries at the moment and several places in the world are facing mask shortages, forcing some to start sewing masks themselves for their communities.
For those in Beijing who would like to help out loved ones back home, an international shipping company is providing a solution. DHL is now offering set-price shipping of masks to six countries. That means if you want to ship a box of masks to Japan, Australia, the US, Canada, the UK, or Germany, you can now do so for less than RMB 300.
Country | Price |
Japan/Australia | RMB 249 |
US/Canada | RMB 269 |
UK/Germany | RMB 299 |
