The organisation had always advised that medical face masks should be worn by people who are sick and those caring for them.
At the same time, the WHO stressed that face masks were just one of a range of tools that could be used to reduce the risk of transmission - and that they should not give people a false sense of protection. Those arguments have not gone away but at the same time the WHO acknowledges that new evidence has emerged on the risks of transmission.
How many people and how much money does WHO go through per year and why are they so incompetent.
¿Now?
A bunch of clowns changing their 'expert' opinion all of the time...
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
After so many lives are gone and 6 months , what is the purpose of this organization still existing ?!
BBCWorld I have Trump on my left side and WHO on my right! I just had a stroke on the left side of my body🤷🏾♂️
BBCWorld In 6 months, while more than 6 different vaccine studies have leveled up to be tried on human body, it has taken 6 months to decide whether mask should be used or not by a world health organization. Who is managing WHO ?
The ”evolving evidence” is nearly 7 million ppl have been diagnosed & 400 thousand ppl DIED!! 😰😰
BBCWorld Who? That one, very useless
The World Health Organization WHO is such an embarrassment. Absolutely no credibility and a 'joke' of an organization. They BLEW it. No coming back from that. Whatever they say from this point forward? Ppl (understandably) will just 🙄. WHO facemasks
Wow tell me after how many deaths? WHO is not efficient at all and not functioning at all! Trust WHO is to put whole world in danger
China and Tedros destroyed WHO. they hide the truth and spread ChinaCoronaVirus . They killed millions of people in the world ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied
Can somebody please make their fucking mind up ....
And the Govt follows their lead immediately, but the BBC's first stop is to still manage to find some to complain about it, rather than embrace the message
They are responsible for the death and illness of many people...people should use there brains to determine the risks
Not wearing one.
BBCWorld Wow, what a relief! This organisation works only for China, period. Good of Trump to cut off the money for them. Any person with a common sense should not listen to what these incompetent morons are saying. Now we know, Whatever they tell us, we do the opposite.
WHO changes course again? *yawn*
Why the hell they are called experts in Cov19 if they fucked up this world so much with their stupidity...they have the same knowledge as me in this,0 nada! Why should we have to listen to these incompetence🤯
Keen to see if BBC could (impartially) look into the Recovery Trial. Used way higher dosage of HCQ than is safe (toxic) in a sham study funded by Bill Gates & Gates funded Wellcome. Gates, who wants to vaccinate all on Earth, paying for a totally biased & conflicted drug trial!
PROF DOLORES CAHILL - COVID-19 FRAUD-NO MASKS-NO DISTANCING-NO VACCINES
Hi
Does it bother the BBC that Bill Gates is now the biggest donor of the WHO? Should one individual have so much influence? Any chance of some journalistic curiosity?
I guess we're all letter boxes now BorisJohnson
The only thing the masks are useful for is the 'rioting' that's no doubt planned!
They dont work. They spread germs more. Why is it than us normal people are aware of this but you apparent clever people dont?
It’s because their governments are responsible for their people’s lives.From the early herd immunity to self isolation to wearing masks, which step is British government advising the people to do quicker than Spain Italy France? Now everyone complains WHO, Is it fair?
Bit late now.
Bullshit
Main transmission is through viral droplets exhaled or coughed. Obvious masks will to some extent interfere with transmission.

BBCWorld WHO let the “trial and error” out😜
Is WHO using internet explorer as browser?
The WHO? As in corrupt Tedros’ lot? Seriously, people of the UK, turn your ‘tell a lie vision’ off and do your own research. The BBC is NOT your friend. Defund the bullshit corporation 🇬🇧 Long live the king!! kingjohnuk wwg1wga
The WHO are coming under greater scrutiny by the day.
WHO don’t even have common sense or they delibtately give wrong information to the West? Their master Xi has been wearing face mask for months!
BBC = bunch of corrupt journalists
Let's be clear on masks because the previous who advice, and our government's, was illogical. The current who advice to wear homemade rather than medical masks is also illogical except for shortage management. Places that managed infection best encouraged mask wearing
WHO Not fit for purpose. They’ve changed their minds all the way through this pandemic.
Just show those terrorist are dangerous to the public and should be shut down
I never understood why those in the NHS wore masks if they didn't help to stop the spread of coronavirus. Seems a no brainer to me. We've been told that they are dangerous, don't work, could give a false sense of security etc by so called experts. Stop treating us like idiots!😷
Same shit put a different way
They should disband WHO it's clear now that all along they were just eating the money an not spending the resources in the right manner
I'am not gonna do what the flaming WHO says and wear a facecovering to go shopping and visit friends
Why isn't the UK producing more medical grade masks? If there aren't enough for the public but it would benefit them to use it, wouldn't it help economically to better manage R, be a producer & consumer? This is obviously an area with increasing demand.
1Billion each year. That s the cost of WHO to tax payers
Public transport and in hospitals YES but for going out shopping and visiting friends NO.
Hi, any NMSLESE here? I need to buy one DrTedros for my son's birthday, I'd like to know how much does it cost?
Risk assessment reduces chance Old science but good Altruistic reasons for wearing Bit of snot dynamics for you
Okay WHO DrTedros thanks for the joke after all these months and all these lives taken by CCPvirus
Fuck sake they don’t have a scooby doo
WHO is a joke. 6 fucking months.
Can u stop creating panic and stress..this is all just ridiculous now
Astonishing what the WHO has achieved. Global lockdowns, people obediently walking around in masks, withdrawal of most non-Covid vital medical treatment and all without a death rate anywhere near previous pandemics despite trawling the terminally ill to bulk up the figures.
WHO are about 2 months behind the narrative. They need to get up to speed.
More like, Bill Gates changes the WHO's advice on wearing face masks.
No shit. Rather than act on principle of prevention, WHO and those that blindly take its advice prefer to 'follow the best science'. Well that needs hard evidence, which needs events to happen first...i.e. let the pandemic run its course first...absolute units.
How convenient. I am not buying this untill they prove on what evidence they changed their avdise. Do you remember Lancet fake studies?
Frankly I’d rather get it and die than live like this.
Masks are great, I've seen some really pretty ones. You can also get messages on them. 💙
to cho You don't need to come out and say Anyone with a head knows Don't need your advice
Your mom is a woman
WHO is a joke. Six months too late.
What were WHO doing when Chines people bought all the face masks from entire world? Were they covering up China and caused the rapid spreading in other countries? ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied
in the past few months, YouTube would suspend trending the video which is not aligned with WHO guideline. both organisations have been killing ppl for their wrongdoing
Just now? 🤦♀️
WHO is stupid! We all knew face mask can prevent infection decades ago! Just like you know condom can prevent venereal diseases!
After losing thousands of life in the world, they finally admit it.
No shit Sherlock
Just like advising you to wear a condom when your kid is already 3 years old
Ask them shut up n continues to get bribes from china
BBCWorld WHO is crossing the lowest levels of incompetency!🙄🙄🙄
Where has the WHO been for the past 6 months? Come on, most of the countries have been wearing masks for serval months.
Thanks for your immediate advice WHO, after numerous of lives COVID has taken in the past few months.
WHO and DrTedros No &$ Sherlock! We all figured that out ourselves. You just had to wait for the virus to spread such that we all suffer along with CCPChina because China’s nationalism driven ambitions cannot afford for it to fall behind the rest of the world.
Few months ago WHO said there was no evidence proof that wearing masks can help reduce the risk of the virus....and now changed after 6 millions people were infected? WHO is completely useless!
Lol now? Is this a joke? Honestly this should be done when the pandemic first started in January. Or at least start asking people to wear it but not saying mask isn't useful. Honestly without a proper mask leads to faster spread of thr coronavirus
Oh Low quality face masks made in China are too many. That’s why WHO changes its advice. Pro-CCP government is time to help CCP consume their shit 😂
Or China manufacture too much masks and can’t find the way to sell it all and ask their faithful WHO to promote it? As the past few months the masks was not enough, the WHO suggested mask was not necessarily but China government promoted their people masks is important, right?
The WHO can get bent. Enjoy the Summer. Wash your hands.
Finally
Thousands were killed by this coronavirus because The WHO has been fxcking clueless all along. The only thing DrTedros has done well was to help China LIED! WHOLiedPeopleDied ChinaLiedPeopleDied
Are they just flipping coins to decide what to say? 😳
Too early to release this advisory bsdk...
shouldnt be wearing while exercising or carrying heavy loads.
Typical Liberal advise
Thanks WHO telling the whole world after so many deaths incurred by your stupid advice in the past. Thanks WHO to do so when everybody has already experienced the dangers without wearing a mask. Damn... why we have to pay an idiot for such well known advice...
SIX MONTHS? Six months to say sth this freaking obvious? Defund the WHO
After 6 months, you finally decide? Is this because the masks export dropped dramatically now so you need to boost the sales? Fuck the WHO
Seriously? After six months and already caused thousands of dead
Crikey, Is there anything they havent changed their mind on yet during this pandemic?
WHO: Covid19 not H2H transmissible WHO: Masks not effective Also WHO: Don't listen to me, sorry LOL
Who is that Columbus who discovered this? Dr Harshavardhan got up I guess
BBCWorld Oh really....duh
It's only the 37th time they have changed their mind 🤯
That's actually not accurate. They say masks should be used where social distancing is not possible.
The WHO are running this shitshow. It’s falling apart. Thousands protesting in numbers without masks, thousands on beaches and holiday spots, and yet the fabled R number is disappearing to insignificance. Project Fear is over!.
BBCWorld China already did at the beginning of virus spreading. How can you just realize that. Even individuals in China know this knowledge.
BBCWorld Despite the fact that no one should trust these liars and seditious bas7ards anymore, masks are a known health HAZARD and worthless when worn by asymptomatic people. defundWHO
BBCWorld Yeah, they should have listened to me months ago. Hire me WHO
BBCWorld WHO can't even agree on anything w/d scientific community on covid-19 so what hope have we got? They even abetted CCP on d spread of d virus then issuing 'mask use' late this warning should have been issued at d height of d Pandemic
BBCWorld WHOはマスクをつけるようにアドバイスを変えた。いまさら？🥱

BBCWorld A bit late for this. Masks only needed when in a crowded enclosed environment. And even then...anyoyne with symptoms should be home as one does normally when sick with flu. So who is out there to protect against when you wear a mask? Crazy. Great for mask industry.
Why don't we get the rationale for these recommendations? The science shows that masks help stop the transmission of disease by infected people but won't keep you safe. The way masks are worn by some people for example at protests leaves a lot to be desired.
Make your mind up ....
BBCWorld Whilst BBC was trying to make a case that Masks were not making any difference - not long but just couple of months ago! Who sponsors you guys ?
BBCWorld Facemask as the savior of the world economies?
BBCWorld A bit late dude. The countries with enough common sense not to listen to you have Covid under control.
Oh wow, who would have thought that face masks would protect anyone! Right?🤦♀️😄 Luckily there were many countries in Europe that didn’t give a toss about this useless organisation and it’s rubbish advice, introduced face masks long time ago, and thus saved many many lives.
BBCWorld No shit! What a surprise masks actually help.
Only where there is 'substantial spread in the community'. This isn't the case anymore in the UK.
BBCWorld Well we already knew this. Did China finally tell them this?
BBCWorld No shit.
The WHO really don't have a clue. No wonder it got out of control!
buy online, fully stocked fast delivery.
BBCWorld But coronavirus is spread through touch. It isn't airborne. Also, you toich your mask that you put on your face. How exactly does this help?
At the end of a pandemic? And when they previously said they were not effective?
BBCWorld Well, our part of the State has gone to a green...red, yellow to green. Now all the Trumpers think they don't need masks because the virus disappeared because we are open I am home because of people who really can't think.
Jazd09 Another failure by the government its failure after failure ppe testing track and trace care homes easing the lockdown to early not locking down early enough not closing the boarders and putting mps in jobs there not capable of doing the list goes on total failure to the public
😆😆😆
Honestly FFS! 😂 This is becoming like playground rumours. It's fast becoming a game of Simon Says 🤦♂️ BBC you are now officially... Bullshit Broadcast Corporation
No facemasks are to stop the spread of people not being paranoid and buying into the WHO/BillGates bullshit lies
BBCWorld The so-called World Health Organization is constantly changing its mind. At first they denied that 2019-nCoV is transmissible from person to person at all. This was followed by more false information, as if it came from the White House.
We really don’t care what they recommend!
BBCWorld WHO spend so long to realize this problem. In fact, China and South Korea have already done so for a long time...
BBC News, your report is significantly incorrect. It should state, '..over 60s OR people with underlying health issues..'
BBCWorld All media should stop reporting news from WHO because it has lost all credibility.
Ye no shit
will never wear one, fuck the WHO, they are utterly corrupt and change their minds every 2 minutes
Foxtrott oscar Dehumanising b'stards
'We have new research findings', then doesn't say what these findings tell us... sod your masks; I'm never going to wear one.
So dumb 🤦🏿♂️
LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MAKE ME
BBCWorld They’re guilty. They failed to protect the world from this virus . Add that to the history books pls.
BBCWorld I thought they advocated wearing masks from the beginning!
Wow. They are rely evil. People have to start the realise this surely by now. They are changing things to suit a narrative. Different to last week, different to s month ago. This will make people ill.
About time, this should have been priority
ΜΟΛΩΝ ἘΝΔΥΝΕ
Why not lead with the fact infections in the UK have halved? The reporting of this is disturbing.
They need to make up their minds ffs
BBCWorld WHO is useless and inept
BBCWorld
BBCWorld What? Suddenly...
Why go big on the muzzle story but barely mention the fact they recommend 1 metre and not 2?
As usual the actual advise is last in CNNs articles.. 'So where distancing isn't possible, such as on public transport and in locations as varied as shops and refugee camps, it's suggested that faces are covered with homemade masks to avoid passing on the infection.'
BBC News, your report is significantly incorrect. It should read 'over 60s OR people with underlying health issues'
Wearing nasks all the time are not good for your health. Wear one of it makes you 'feel safe'. But you won't be doing your lungs any favors. I personally have mild asthma. When I wear one after a while I feel light headed. Glad I don't travel the tube.
What a total shower.
Wow, a physical thing covering your nose and mouth reduces the chance of passing on a disease that is transmitted via your nose and mouth. Who'd have thunk it?
BBCWorld This article is grossly misleading. It’s not that they “reversed” their policy at all. Masks have always been acknowledged, but they depriorized them initially because they didn’t want to further exacerbate shortages for medical workers. 1/2
BBCWorld Lol because we can trust them
bbc showing image of medical mask not advocated by who or even drwho this whole thing stinks. Starting to feel like a puppet who is the master I want to poke their eyes out!
Why is the cure, hydroxychloroquine, banned, but counterproductive masks which are now advocated? The WHO is an accessory to a global crime.
Yep , scare the sheeple , with NO scientific proof ffs
BBCWorld It is a bit too late for the UK which has not fully encouraged the wearing of masks and so many people here are now just dismissive of them.
rosepoet I'm coughing tonight. It could easily be hay fever. I suffer from hay fever. If I stand next to you in the supermarket,should I be wearing a mask? Or can I cough next to you and you will know you are ok? I'm sure it could be nothing...Shall I cover my mouth and nose?
Scientific study please 😘 Iv made my own changes to my health regardless of the WHO and never felt better In the last 50 years!
The BBC needs closing down for pushing agendas like this
At this point, if the WHO really wants to adhere to the Hippocratic oath and do no harm, they should just shut the f**k up
BBCWorld Everyone please make sure the masks you are trying to buy is not Made In China. Don’t buy anything from evil China that caused all of this
BBCWorld Amazing. So now we Know that masks works against virus spread. Big step in science LancetGate
BBCWorld Mask making companies have just creamed their pants at the thoughts of even more profits
I assume it's not necessary for BLM protesters though, because they have natural immunity to the virus and won't cause another spike by gathering in large numbers
The WHO did nothing to stop the virus spread, and now the bunch of halfwits are telling us this? Sorry, but redemption is denied.
BBCWorld Who listens to corrupt WHO now? Blacklivesmatter is the trend, no?
Not interested
WHO changing their advice like changing their knickers...
Evil. Pure evil.
BBCWorld How many times are we gonna go through this? Make up your mind you frauds!
BBCWorld Next week it will be something else. Figure this out!!
Can we still trust it? So confused
Let's see you provide a proper scientific study to prove these bullsh*t claims.
RealBristolNews This is an interview with a professor of epidemiology in South Korea in March. He explains how import face masks are. He also explains why the west didn't promote face masks - because we didn't have enough of them.
BBCWorld Think about it. People have been wearing masks all over the world for a couple of decades now. It isn't just the pollution.
How quickly are we following the lead of Southeast Asians who have experienced SARS?
No shit... putting a barrier in front/over your mouth/nose may reduce the risk of catching the virus! Who’d of thought...
Blimey they’re literally the WORLDS authority on health and didn’t know masks stop the spread of coronaviruses which they’ve studied for years and never developed a vaccine for? Really?
WHO is so erratic. It's a useful organization. Nobody listen to it. A mute voice in the desert
Isn’t it just common sense to wear one regardless of what some say. If you don’t want to enhale other peoples germs, wear a bloody mask. It’s that simple.
Face masks / coverings are no use to those besotted by drink , puke needs an escape route , I support sobriety AllLiversMatter
UN & WHO are not to be trusted We have our own experts and can discuss with world leaders and share information with them without a self appointed World 'authority'
