WHO recommends wearing masks indoors
2nd December 2020: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recommended wearing face masks indoors.
Baaghi TV: The World Health Organisation has recommended wearing facemasks when indoors with other people, if the ventilation seems inadequate while giving an update on its COVID-19 guidance on masks, AFP reported.
The new recommendations apply in areas of known or suspected cluster or community transmission of the new coronavirus.
“WHO advises that the general public should wear a non-medical mask in indoor (eg shops, shared workplaces, schools) or outdoor settings where physical distancing of at least one metre cannot be maintained,” the new guidance says.
"If you do meet people from a different household, meet outdoors if you can, maintain physical distance & #WearAMask.
Avoid crowded shopping centres, shop at less crowded times, & use online shopping if you can"-@DrTedros #COVID19https://t.co/AYmJF7En4j

“If indoors, unless ventilation has been assessed to be adequate, WHO advises that the general public should wear a non-medical mask, regardless of whether physical distancing of at least one metre can be maintained.”
The World Health Organization also urges people not to wear masks during vigorous physical activity, and not to use masks with valves, as they bypassed the filtration function of the facemask.
