WHY FACE MASKS
Face masks have become a global public discourse, following a drastic increase of COVID-19 infections across the world. As a part of a COVID-19 preventative intervention, among others, wearing a face mask has been seen as a grand stark commodity for many people.
Cloth masks can be utilised in public spaces where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.
We advise on the use of simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the covid-19 virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others.
