Personal Protect Equipment is an important method for virus containment. South Korea briefly placed a ban on the exportation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) following shortages on such supplies. During this time, the government took full control of PPE production, logistics, and distribution. Mask prices were fixed at 1,500 won ($1.27 USD), sales were limited two per person, every other day. South Korea is not the only nation to have implemented such measures. To date, there are no documented South Korean hospitals which were forced to reuse PPE. Public response to such measures was mixed.
