Your opinion about face masks

According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) medical face masks is believed to only have a small or moderate effect to prevent COVID-19. There is no reliable proof of effectiveness for the public to use non-medical face masks, face shields/visors and respirators.

The evidence regarding the effectiveness of medical face masks for the prevention of COVID-19 in the community is compatible with a small to moderate protective effect, but there are still significant uncertainties about the size of this effect. Evidence for the effectiveness of non-medical face masks, face shields/visors and respirators in the community is scarce and of very low certainty.

It's interesting to see what believes people are having about face masks.



It seems that hardly none of the believers in face masks handle them in a correct way.

The madness about "Mascarillas" continues 

The Ministry of Health in Spain is not yet considering dropping the existing mandatory wearing of face masks in indoor spaces, although the department’s head, Carolina Darias hinted this Friday (8 October) that it is unlikely it would happen before spring.

Darias, however, expressly avoided giving a date and called for patience, despite the improvement in the coronavirus pandemic figures and the fact that Spain returned to a Covid-19 'low risk' zone yesterday after the cumulative incidence rate fell below 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants after some 14 months.

The head of the Ministry of Health suggested that remaining coronavirus control measures would be eased "little by little". She warned that now, when the autumn "respiratory viruses" arrive, the healthcare situation could be complicated, especially if the mandatory wearing of face masks in some situations is relaxed.
