This is saying that China has now banned the export of all medical masks to other countries. 

"Are you working with China"
Trump: "Yes we just did two great trade deals with China"
WTF, that's not what they meant lol.

Why did they ban the export? Needed at home I guess?

I live in Guangzhou China.

Europe's epidemic risks have soared, but masks are "hard to find ". China has banned the export of medical masks to combat a new outbreak of pneumonia. This has led to bottlenecks elsewhere in the world, with Europe even at risk of running out of medical masks.

thats the translation of the article above.
