(ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 6 - "We recommend the use of medical masks to those who are sick or need to take care of a sick person". This was confirmed by WHO Director-General TedrosAdhanom Ghebreyesus in the usual briefing on Covid-19, announcing the publication today of guidelines for the countries on the use of masks for the population. "We are concerned that the mass use of these masks by people may aggravate the shortage of these tools," said the director. The generalized use of masks must be taken into consideration by those countries in which other measures, such as washing hands or keeping a distance, are more difficult to apply due to "lack of water or in overcrowded conditions", he added.
