People in South Korea will be able to buy newly-approved ultra-thin face masks at local supermarkets by the end of June.
According to industry sources, they'll be available at Lotte Mart, one of the largest supermarket chains in South Korea, within the next couple of weeks.
Lotte Mart says it expects to sell around 200-thousand of the masks a week.
E-mart also plans to have them available by the end of the month.
The droplet blocking masks are as thin as those used at the dentist's office.
They were approved by health authorities in South Korea earlier this month, but are only currently available to buy online.
