- Despite the need to prioritize the use of surgical and medical masks for health personnel, the World Health Organization (WHO) sees the need to generalize the use of this protective material to limit airway transmissions. According to what he says, at home he can also help what he did for himself. Like WHO, other experts and governments are making the council heard.
According to statements by a senior World Health Organization (WHO) official, one million people have detected COVID-19 by air transmission and have already lost 60,000 lives there. In this sense, on April 3, this institution disseminated a advice to generalize the use of masks, with the aim of hindering this route of contagion.
The same message has been repeated in recent days among experts from countries that have felt strongly affected by the plague. Let us say, the United States and the Spanish State. But for the moment there is only the advice and they do not have to. On 4 April, the French Academy of Medicine asked in a statement to impose the use of the mask.

The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Slovenia are obliged to use the mask. “It is not in our culture, but it is on that path that Asian peoples have come to have a few cases of contagion per day,” Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said on 30 March. The Chancellor has made it clear that the masks to be worn by citizens are not as protective as those worn by health professionals, but they help to prevent the spread of contamination.
It is true that in Asian countries the use of the mask has become widespread and this has yielded positive results in limiting infections. They have been clear political elections, which have been carried out many times with political measures. Let's say, in Japan, the government has distributed reusable face masks to the population, two for each house. With 100 million face masks, therefore, the government is also criticised, because in most homes there are more than two people.
