The World Health Organization (WHO) currently says only two groups of people should wear protective masks, those who are:
- sick and showing symptoms
- caring for people suspected to have the coronavirus
Masks are not recommended for the general public because:
- they can be contaminated by other people’s coughs and sneezes or when putting them on or removing them
- frequent hand-washing and social distancing are more effective
- they might offer a false sense of security
