is no longer offering N95 masks to the general public, as it prioritizes the delivery of essential supplies to hospitals, government agencies, and other groups amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Earlier this week, the company rolled out a new section of its website dedicated to COVID-19
There, any U.S.-accredited hospital or state or federal agency can fill out a form to access necessary items like N95 masks, surgical masks, facial shields, surgical gowns, surgical gloves, and large-volume sanitizers.
An Amazon spokesperson told CNBC that it's no longer permitting the sale of certain coronavirus-related items in its store to ensure that scarce inventory of medical supplies are available to hospitals and government organizations during the pandemic.

Other items, such as small-volume sanitizers and wipes intended for personal use, remain available to the general public, the spokesperson added.
Amazon is sourcing some of the products for this effort from third-party sellers. To encourage sellers to apply, Amazon has also waived standard referral fees for third-party sellers who take part in the effort through June 30. Sellers pay a referral fee on each item sold, with the fee differing in amount based on the product category.
