\nWorld Health Organization
\nofficials said they still recommend people not wear face mask unless they are sick with Covid-19 <\/span>or caring for
\nsomeone who is sick.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n“There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing
\nof masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there’s
\nsome evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly
\nor fitting it properly,” Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO
\nhealth emergencies program said at a media briefing<\/span> in Geneva,
\nSwitzerland, on Monday.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n“There also is the issue that we have a massive global
\nshortage,” Ryan said about masks and other medical supplies. “Right
\nnow the people most at risk from this virus are frontline health workers who
\nare exposed to the virus every second of every day. The thought of them not
\nhaving masks is horrific.”<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/o:p><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nDr. Maria Van Kerkhove, an infectious disease epidemiologist
\nwith the WHO, also said at Monday’s briefing that it is important “we
\nprioritize the use of masks for those who need it most,” which would be
\nfrontline health care workers.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n“In the community, we do not recommend the use of wearing
\nmasks unless you yourself are sick and as a measure to prevent the onward spread
\nfrom you, if you are ill,” Van Kerkhove said.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n“The masks that we recommend are for people who are at home
\nand who are sick and for those individuals who are caring for those people who
\nare home that are sick,” she said.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\nWorld Health Organization officials warned at a media briefing
\nlast week that globally there is a “significant shortage” of medical
\nsupplies, including personal protective gear or PPE, for doctors.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n“We need to be clear,” Van Kerkhove said last week.
\n“The world is facing a significant shortage of PPE for our frontline
\nworkers — including masks and gloves and gowns and face shields — and
\nprotecting our health care workers must be the top priority for use of this
\nPPE.”<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
