In the times of Pandemic, we can easily feel the importance of face masks, disinfecting wipes, and personal protective equipment. Similarly, the trading between the countries is also based on protective equipment. In these difficult times, nonwoven and related industries are the strong support to fight against the deadly virus. In the absence of these industries, the fight against COVID is not possible. It is an essential partner. In many countries, there is a great shortage of personal protective equipment and surgical masks. Countries like Spain and Italy facing the worst conditions and the only trade between countries is the equipment against fight COVID. The textile industry faces a lot of issues in these times. All the fashion exhibitions and fashion gala stop. Because of this the income of the people working in the fashion industry also stops.
