The reactions were intense yesterday for the huge masks given to several children, as a result of which their faces were covered. At the same time, the Minister of Education, Niki Kerameos, spoke about the failure of what happened with some of the masks that were delivered to schools on Monday.
The man who made some 500,000 masks emphasized that he made them based on the instructions he was given.
“The instructions given from the beginning and the dimensions were 10 × 18 for children up to 10 years old and 12 × 22 for children over 10 years old and for teachers. The end product is this because the aspects are 3 of 2 points and there is around a seam, said Mr. Stathopoulos.
According to him, the suppliers had highlighted the large size.

“They are big anyway, we the suppliers commented on it, we had said it, they gave samples. They did not suggest us to create masks, to produce masks that they told us with specific dimensions. It is the announcement of the contest by KEDE. And KEDE did not follow their own instructions. “The dimensions were determined by the meeting of the National Committee for the Protection of Public Health against Coronavirus,” he said while reading the announcement.
See below the controversial point of the announcement: 
Today, as he said, you will be given new instructions.
“The problem was the dimensions from the beginning. The instruction is from now on that the masks have other dimensions, the instructions will be known today. Yesterday we were informed that the dimensions are going to change, “he said.
According to Mr. Stathopoulos, skins that have not been delivered will be corrected with the new dimensions. “We will be called to correct them.”
After the uproar the explanations
The General Secretariat of Public Health yesterday gave explanations on the subject, attributing the problem to a vagueness in the wording of the dimensions of the mask. According to the competent authority, the dimensions referred to the size of the fabric before sewing and not to the final size of the two types of masks.
“The wording of this distinction between initial and final dimensions was not clear, so several of the masks distributed were larger than appropriate,” added the General Secretariat of Public Health.
Kerameans: The failure will be covered with disposable masks
Education Minister Niki Kerameos spoke of a “failure” regarding what happened to some of the masks delivered to schools on Monday.
There were also failures and explanations were given. The new specifications have already been developed, ”said Ms. Kerameos, adding that“ the KEDE that has coordinated the effort had been in charge of delivering disposable masks where they did not exist or where the appropriate mask was not delivered ”.
