The face masks, worth a total of a million shekels (almost $300,000), are for Apple’s employees in Europe, according to Zman Yisrael, The Times of Israel’s Hebrew-language sister site.

They are being imported from a country in Africa, which wasn’t named in the report.

Neither Apple nor Super-Pharm have commented.
