Daily production capacity of disinfectant and sterilization products has reached 150 tons in Lanzhou, capital of Northwest China's Gansu province, which provides enough such products for the local market's demand, according to the Lanzhou Bureau of Industry and Information Technology.

As of Tuesday, the city had 10 enterprises that make disinfectant and sterilization products resume production, and three pharmaceutical enterprises produce disinfectant and sterilization products.

The bureau has carried out multiple measures to meet the city's need for protective materials, such as facial masks and protective gear. To date, Lanzhou Scisky Group has completed building production lines that are able to make 100,000 medical gloves a day. Three enterprises in the city are building production lines for making masks, which will change the city's predicament of having no enterprises producing masks.

Gansu now has two enterprises that can make 60,000 masks a day and one enterprise that can make 2,000 pieces of protective gear a day.

Nationwide, the overall domestic production capacity of disinfectant is enough at present, and efforts will be ramped up to guide the industry to reshuffle some of its product structure to better meet the public's demand, said Cao Xuejun, deputy director of the Consumer Products Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, on Thursday.

China currently has 563 enterprises making disinfectant and sterilization products.
