The Netherlands bought face masks from China. A shipment of face masks of grade level “KN95” arrived on March 21. However, the Dutch Ministry of Health found that these face masks did not meet the quality standard, though they had a quality inspection certificate from China. The problem with the face masks was that they couldn’t cover the face correctly and also the membranes that were supposed to capture the virus particles did not work properly.
The Holland government decided not to use these face masks.

Excerpt in Chinese:
为了应对新冠疫情，荷兰从中国进口了一批口罩，3月21日，一家中国工厂生产的标明为”KN95“等级的口罩，配有质量检验合格证，运达荷兰。不久，荷兰卫生部收到警报，提醒这批到货的口罩不符合检验标准。
荷兰卫生部官员表示，第二次检验结果显示，这批口罩不符合质量标准。荷兰政府现在决定将这批寄来的口罩全部废弃不用。从中国订购的其他口罩到货后，将进行更严格的质量检验。
当局指出，这批口罩的问题出在不能正确地覆盖脸部，或者捕获病毒粒子的膜状物不能够正确地运作。
