Coronavirus: Face masks should be ‘obligatory’, says Government adviser

has said they are not necessary for people who have no symptoms and that they can give a false sense of security.“We have given very clear public health guidance that if you are using public transport or if you’re in an indoor space, particularly a space where you can’t socially distance, you should wear a face covering,” he said.It was the same language used by the Chief Medical Officer Drat the NPHET briefing earlier on Tuesday. He has advised the Government against mandatory use.

Much of the voluntary adoption of masks by members of the public might not conform to safe and appropriate use, he explained. “It is really important that people [see] the wearing of a face covering as an additional hygiene measure and that they use them properly ... if they’re not used properly they can actually increase the risk of transmission if you’re handling it inappropriately,” he said.

“And we are also concerned about the fact that use of face coverings may be seen as some kind of ... magic shield that will protect people in all circumstances and allow them to disregard all the other important parts of public health advice.”

“By wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain.”

'Face masks should not be worn by healthy individuals to protect themselves from acquiring respiratory infection because there is no evidence to suggest that face masks worn by healthy individuals are effective in preventing people from becoming ill'

Joe Biden wears face mask in his first public appearance in two monthsUS president Donald Trump has so fare refused to wear a face mask in public. More likely a muzzle to get him to stfu. I think Bidens people are making him wear the mask to prevent him from saying anything racist, geriatric, creepy, sexist or just plain gibberish. He's a liability any time he opens his mouth. The black mask looks a bit sinister try another colour Joe
