Governments should encourage people to wear masks in confined or crowded environments

Part of a comprehensive strategy

Continues to advise that people caring for an infected person at home should wear a medical mask while they are in the same room as the sick person

New

In areas with widespread transmission, medical masks for all people working in clinical areas of a health facility, not only workers dealing with patients with COVID- 19

Areas with community transmission, people aged 60, or those with underlying conditions should wear a medical mask in situations where physical distancing is not possible

Fabric masks should consist of at least three layers of different material

Inner layer, an absorbent material like cotton

Middle layer, non-woven material such as polypropylene, which is the filter

Outer layer, non-absorbent material such as polyester or a polyester blend.

Hand to mask hygiene also important

False sense of security, hand hygiene and physical distancing
