The World Health Organization has said that people in Ireland should get into the habit of wearing face coverings, even if it's not mandatory to do so.

All other people should be wearing a fabric mask made up of at least three layers - Dr Nabarro said a single layer of fabric does not offer much protection WHO recently changed its advice on face masks amid the coronavirus pandemic, saying they should be worn in places where the virus is widespread and physical distancing is difficult."In light of evolving evidence, WHO advises that governments should encourage the general public to wear masks where there is widespread transmission and physical distancing is difficult," said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

The WHO maintained its recommendation that people who are sick with Covid-19 symptoms should stay at home and if it is absolutely necessary for them or their contacts to leave home, they should wear a medical mask.

I think it should be mandatory to wear face masks in shops it is unfair to expect staff to wear masks for long periods of time. If customers wear masks while they are shopping it would protect themselves and others and it would allow staff to work safely.

FergalBowers Pity this is 3 months too late and now people won't wear them as Tony and others spent months bashing them.

According to DrRashidButtar face masks are harmful to your body causing stress & lessen your required Oxigen intake. He's being censored on numerous social media platforms. The truth will come out eventually. Inform yourselves other than mainstream news reports & distractions.

Are these the new masks for the elderly LeoVaradkar

You want blacks wearing slave masks again?

Glic16 I am a 63 old runner who tried wearing a mask when running and wont be doing so again as it very clearly unhealthy

tune in tmoro, when the WHO will suggest the ' latest research' shows we should go find rabbit holes and go stay in them for 6 months actually, anyone that takes their contradictory medical advice should just stay there a few yrs

technoteachers Sorry, not sorry.

The WHO is corrupted by oligarchs who want to enslave humanity,screw your masks ,Corona bullshit

The WHO can go eff themselves where the sun doesn’t shine.

Not a hope! Wheres the science behind that? The WHO can say what it likes... stupid Real Truth Enemy

That is not a medical grade mask she held. You need a respirator.

Not happening. The WHO contradicts itself from day to day. Wearing masks cuts off oxygen which weakens the immune system. People are getting tired of your propaganda. Dr.Tedros was part of a marxist regime in Ethiopia and covered up 3 cholera epidemics. He works for...CHINA

FergalBowers One day wear them , next day it makes no difference, next day wear them, next day it makes no difference.....🙃🙄

FergalBowers If wearing masks is not supposed to protect you from the infected but rather protect others from you, why are they saying that the vulnerable should wear them? Make up your minds!

Ok thanks RTE

loreillysf No Thanks I'll keep my distance

WHO are you WHO, WHO, -​--WHO, WHO. Money makes the WHO go around.

FergalBowers Should wear Recommended to wear Any chance of some clear info?

FergalBowers Nothing to see here just some fake news company

Duh... ok.

AineNicOisin

Is it Mandatory or Persondatory

That is out of order! When several Nations are still failing to provide appropriate medical grade masks to Doctors & nurses None more so than those of the NHS & the HSE in West Europe Ineffective PPE WHO_Europe hpscireland HSELive IMO_IRL INMO_IRL MaryLouMcDonald

They just have to keep this charade going for as long as they can , people wear masks then they ll get respiratory issues & then it ll be 2nd wave covid ! They have to have this 2nd wave & they ll create it if need be !

At last

All the shit about masks and the silence about the suicide rates Or are they being classed as CONvid-1984 deaths? if you don’t realise by now this is total horse shit get first in line for the the Gates poison.

The WHO have no authority. None.

No thanks ..

NPHET and the government advised groups of 4 can meet outdoors. BLM dictates otherwise. Obsolete news, obsolete advice.

FergalBowers

No thanks , they are full of shit

It should be down to the individual if they want to wear mask cause if you do not have it you not give it but you may get it then you have to quarantine for 2wks then you are supposedly immune for 3 months just what what do we believe now 🙄

No way!

Grace Upon Grace🙏 Fake News.

N

We should just put a permanent mask on and sell it off it’s toxic to the core

Where would one get a “medical grade” mask?

Oh sod off, the over 60s have suffered enough, they've been in lockdown and adhered to the rules. Furthermore, try explaining to or try getting someone with dementia to wear a mask!

WHO say 1 Metre is ok distancing but CMOIreland ignores it , we either comply with all WHO guidance or none .

ToryFibs People shouldn't do things just because they are mandatory anyway, they need to be following the advice of health experts and doing it for themselves and their families.

a) Where are us wheezing oldies supposed to get medical-grade masks? b) SimonHarrisTD is advising everyone to wear masks - while not wearing a mask HeadDesk

Sure didn't we wear balaclavas for years , no good against a virus though

Surely that should of being the advise in March when the virus was alive and strong and not June when it’s weak and almost dead. Maybe WHO are incompetent after all? I am scratching my head with puzzlement.

Who can fuck right off 👌

Oh well if they say so, off I go to buy a mask! Take your masks and your vaccines and propaganda and bore off.

Where do you buy medical grade masks please?

Who say 1 meter distancing is ok too

WHO has some more advice for us here

Fuck you, i won't do what you tell me.

Over 8million children go MISSING every year. 1 billion children live below the poverty line 22000 children die every single day. But ur TV has u focused on corona and BLM Wakeup u brainwashed fools wakeupAmerica

No. You’re alright.

What have they said about mass gatherings of protesters who have no influence on America but sign a death warrent for many vulnerable people? Lets hear it.

In other ways there Chinese masters see the massive profits in selling 0.4 cent masks to the soft European s for a €1 each . WHO puppets of commi chinks

And the reason they aren't being enforced is there is zero scientific basis that they help, but plenty that they may be detrimental to health. WHO advice is ONLY directed to medical workers. Where's you due diligence RTE

Advice and guidelines are not laws, ignore them.

I will.. thanks

I wonder what country will supply masks? Wouldn't be China would it?

defund rte, defund the who

Ppl shud wear masks. Hilarious that WHO change their expert minds every few months though

WHO are they ?

Tell your WHO handlers to get f*k€D RTÉ is a threat to public health you are a virus mediascum

I will be wearing the plague doctor mask in protest if forced to wear this crap

The WHO can fuck right off!

I’ll follow president trumps lead as far as the who goes thank you very much 🤡

FUCK THE WHO

DrPaulColton Do the exact opposite of what those chinese sponsored aholes tell you. Ask tedros to explain this?

Absolutely no way will I wear a mask or any of my children,I am finding it very upsetting to see little kids with masks,why would you do that to your child?

Wearing mouth masks causes 'Hypoxia'!! Reducing oxygen intake by our blood and to the brain. Wearing a mask is like having a petri dish on your mouth, it increases our viral load, it makes us sick, and can kill the elderly. The WHO, the World Hell Organization can fuck right off

Yes should be made mandatory government too weak on this. No one should be allowed on public transport or shops without one. Not to be left to drivers etc. Am looked at as if out of Mars wearing mine😡😡

It's weird to say they're trying to protect us from something that impedes one breathing by telling us to wear stuff that impedes ones ability to breathe. I can only assume they are trying to make is all ill. Noone should listen to them.

WHO is the running dog of the Chinese community Party. We are not too bad here in Ireland. We know how to protect ourselves and our family. no need your advice. the running dog - WHO

They can feck right off👍🏻

This should have happened 2 months ago! And it should be mandatory in closed, crowded spaces.

Zero protection. This has nothing to do with saving lives.

big pharmaceutical industry in Ireland The Who are traking the piss out of us and why wouldn't they our uelected government has promised them huge amounts of our money they have also just came out and said masks are a wast of time look into it

WHO is even listening to these dopes..

They say a lot more besides
