BEIJING, Feb 11 — China’s current production of masks is at 76 per cent of total capacity, and getting workers to return to their jobs is key, said an official at the country’s top economic planner today.

China will resolve any issues that mask manufactuers are facing such as financing or supply of materials, Ou Xiaoli, director of social development at the National Development and Reform Commission, told reporters.
