Global condom shortage looms as coronavirus shuts down production
World’s biggest producer says lockdown has already caused shortfall of 100m condoms
A global shortage of condoms is looming, the world’s biggest producer has said, after a coronavirus lockdown forced it to shut down production.
Malaysia’s Karex Bhd makes one in every five condoms globally. It has not produced a single condom in its three Malaysian factories for more than a week because of a lockdown imposed by the government to halt the spread of the virus.
=====================================
A shortfall of 100M condoms could result in a lot of unintended consequences.
