WHO guidance: Healthy people should wear masks only when ‘taking care of’ coronavirus patients
This is why people are confused: The WHO says healthy people should wear masks only when taking care of Coronavirus patients: this is clearly at odds with CDC guidelines.
The way I see it, a mask is a barrier- so if someone sneezes or coughs, their droplets stay in the mask--- so what is the harm in wearing it? If someone is asymptomatic, even breathing on someone for a protracted period of time can spread the virus.
i think the WHO is giving bad advice and i just don't understand it.
