REUTERS/Carlos Garcia Rawlins- The WHO says the widespread use of face masks or coverings by the general public is still not yet supported by high quality or direct scientific evidence.
- But it says a growing amount of observational evidence from several countries that have ordered or recommended the wearing of masks, as well as the difficulty of social distancing in many settings, is enough for it to change its advice.- Everyone in public settings such as stores, at work, social or mass gatherings, and in closed settings such as schools or places of worship.WHAT KIND OF MASK?
Because of the risk of diverting critical resources from health workers, the WHO says medical masks should be reserved for healthcare professionals and people in at-risk groups. Everyone else should use what it terms non-medical or fabric masks. Here is some of its advice on mask choice:- Avoid stretchy materials, because stretching may increase pore sizes, and preferably use a fabric that can be washed at 60C or higher.
- A minimum of three layers is needed, including an absorbent inner layer, touching the mouth, and a synthetic outer layer that does not easily absorb water.Compiled by Alex Richardson; Editing by Nick Macfie and Kate Kelland

WHO cares.... First they were telling no mask needed
They got to be kidding us. 6 months after the pandemic took place and observing people in all world, the WHO starts to think that it is a good idea. If they had made a huge strong recommendation to use face masks since the beginning, which was so obvious, millions would be saved.
'The WHO says the widespread use of face masks or coverings by the general public is still not yet supported by high quality or direct scientific evidence.'

Whole advice on face masks/coverings has been a scandal from day 1.
Just ask China directly and skip the middle man.
