According to the WHO, advantages to encouraging citizens to wear non-medical masks include reducing the risk of asymptomatic carriers spreading the virus and reminding the population that the pandemic is ongoing and everyone can play a role in stopping it, as well as stimulating economic activity by "encouraging the public to create their own fabric masks."
"Masks are not a replacement for physical distancing, hand hygiene and other public health measures."In addition to the new guidelines for those not showing symptoms and unable to practise physical distancing, the WHO has updated its advice for medical professionals and some of those most at risk of developing severe complications should they contract COVID-19.
Additionally, after months of warning that medical masks should only be worn by health-care professionals and the most at-risk members of the public, in order"In areas with community transmission we advise that people aged 60 years or over or those with underlying conditions should wear a medical mask in situations where physical distancing is not possible," Tedros said.
"Current evidence suggests that most transmission of COVID-19 is occurring from symptomatic people to others in close contact, when not wearing appropriate [personal protective equipment]," the guidelines state.as an alternative, the WHO said, although noting that a shield is "inferior to [a] mask with respect to prevention of droplet transmission.". During the pandemic, many have taken to making their own masks out of discarded clothes or other items they have at home.
W.H.O. AND CHINA ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THOUSANDS OF DEATHS.....
When is the Canadian Media going to call out this source as one big fraud. Trudeau is in on it. Globalization is dead wrong.
Of course we know that protesters are exempt from any such rules, like the one Justin joined.
The WHO can fuck right off and go to hell
Is the new advice to wear them? Cause it is months too late. FU WHO!
Phuk 'em
We've been making our own masks since Mid-March. Appreciate the useless info now though! Useless LittleLate DramaAlert
What the coin cane down tails, time to change the rules again?
I have some advice for the WHO.
WHO is done!!! Not worth for any news !!!
Who?
hahahahah not in Canada but still funny af!!
WHO responsible for the biggest scam of the century!
Gather closer, pretend you’re in a protest.
WHO. Is a joke if I have to go anywhere and have to wear a mask I will stay home
You lost me at 'The WHO'
Can’t believe you are taking advice from losers?
The WHO can choke on one 🍆
This is why USA dumped the WHO
WHO can go to hell....enough of their disinformation!! They failed miserably!!
Who cares
Who cares
A little something for the WHO.
The WHO can just fu*k off!
I stopped listening to the WHO long ago. They cant get their story straight..
DEFUND WHO
I'd rather take stock market advice for a heroin-addict hooker on Cedar Street.
The W.H.O are morons who have been wrong from the beginning and on every fact but keep pushing the propaganda for them.
The WHO can go fuck themselves 😃
After 4 months, there are 400000 died from the virus and 7 millions people infected. What the hell the who is doing?
Anyone in their right mind listening to the WHO TrudeauBlackface or any liberal? To many lies
Advice not asked for is advice not wanted. Defund WHO.
Who trusts the WHO anyways? 🤮
No one cares what these people are babbling about anymore. It's June 7, people have been wearing them for months.
more confusion
so confusing
With all the protesting going on these days. Why wouldn't they recommend wearing a mask?
When I see masks at BLM protests I’ll give it a thought
I appreciate this important recommendation. However, I would have rather received the recommendation in March. I recognize hindsight is often 20/20 but this made sense months ago.
Physical distancing ended with riots and looting. I will br bypassing any lineups into grocery stores etc...and walking right in.
Does the WHO even know what they are doing or saying at this point in time means nothing.
This needed to have happened months ago
Same masks as Antifa lol
The WHO can F off with their BS advice. No NoMasks
Made in china
🤣😂 realllllly
Oh boy! The credible and trustworthy WHO said that?!?! Oh man, let me quickly scramble and find my mask, said nobody with half a brain!
What's their guidance when looting and rioting? Asking for a friend.
The WHO is so full of garbage, They actually have a seven step plan for selling more vaccines. It's all about money. DefundMSM
This is laughable. Two weeks of protesters and the experts at WHO decides to move the goal posts. ZERO CREDIBILITY. 👌
Why, are we not losing our immune systems fast enough for them?
Respectfully shove it.
WHO, a ChiNazi organization. They are ready to make unlimited amount of low quality unsafe masks for more money from your pocket.
Everyone should wear a mask when out of your home or car
400,000+ dead world wide rom COVID-19 and finally Horton hears a WHO advise him to wear a mask! 'Better late than never,' says Horton.
Dr.Shiva Ayyadurai Professor and graduate of MIT went on record saying their 0 evidence or scientific proof that wearing a mask prevents you spreading or catching a virus. He said 0 evidence NONE no proof.
I just want to say “Duh!”
This info is so late and so outdated I do question the worth of the WHO.
If this is the first time WHO is recommending this, it just tells you how obsolete and incompetent this outfit is. It definitely needs reform
What a scam! Both the WHO and the FakeNews! It’s like being in a bad movie. It’s so sad people losing their businesses and lively hoods, not to mention their minds. You who pushed this on us should be held criminally accountable and be on the hook for all the costs!
We won't get fooled again, I can see for miles.
The same organization who has hydroxychloroquine on their list of world most essential medecins then bans it using false data from Surgishere and then last week retract to false info and tell the world they were restarting the trials YOU TRUST THAT ORGANIZATIONS
Because too many China factories cannot sell the masks they produced ...
Seems the WHO is throwing a lot of spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks
Now why would anyone start taking their recommendations at this time... Their prior record has sucked
It’s because there is a saturation masks production in China ... they has to be sold somewhere 🤷♀️
WHO says - wear a mask! oops WHO didn't say 'Simon says' Simon says you can riot with a mask Simon says you can go to mall with a mask Simon says you can't work with a mask Simon says you can't open parliament with a mask I am done with the game.
Late as usual for the executives at WHO. Dummkopfs
NO THANKS! ZERO credibility
WHO rolled the dice again. Even number no need for masks. Odd number recommend masks. A 5 was rolled today.
Tell them to fuck off. Thanks.
For the 1st time? A little late don't you think?
Like mass protests? How about hockey games and sporting events? Open the economy back up. This pandemic panic has become a sick stupid joke at this point.
Fuck the WHO
This seems a bit late to the party doesnt it? Then again the WHO has been slow to respond this whole time & the canadian government followed their lead!!!
Should have come out with that a week ago before the worldwide protests broke out. LOL. Quick draw WHO..... LOL. WHO Masks4All
Really no s**t... doesn't take the who to tell us this 90 days after .... I've changed my mind , they are useless. !
The Who? Nobody cares. Sorry
W.H.O. AND CHINA ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THOUSANDS OF DEATHS....
WHO doesn't matter
No Sh*t.
WHO should SHOW the correct use of these mask as well and the risk to those who use them incorrectly grabbing a mask from your purse/pocket upon entering a store/etc and the reverse on exiting is not the correct procedure exceptions appear to be so called protest gatherings
China needs to sell masks.
Geeee how come the WHO not going against this protest. The preaching how to stop . But silent against this 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Ahhh excuse me, but aren't we allowed to gather, take knees, cuddle and riot now?....so please fukoff with your WHO propaganda, thanks, Canada. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder WHOiscorrupt STOPLYING
If thousands and thousands of people don’t die from COVID-19 as a result of the mass amount of people at protests I guess we will know that we don’t have to do any of the recommendations that we were given
So we were lied to from the start.
They are so friggin late to the party! And this is the organization which we are to trust (sarc). Heaven help us!
No more listening to WHO ffs.
But it’s ok if you call it a protest.
This was announced on tv two weeks ago where have your reporters been?
News flash.. been wearing masks, gloves and social distancing for months now.
Thank God the WHO isn't a business...oh wait maybe it is! 🤔🙄😬
Is this a joke? This is many months & many riots too late.
That’s contrary to scientific advice from other experts, they don’t stop the virus, just read up on it, not recommended for healthy people as it cause increased CO2, weakening immune system and has you rebreathe viruses you ordinarily would breathe out. The WHO should be defunded
First it was DON’T wear a mask because it will not protect you. Now it’s DO wear a mask to protect others? F**k You WHO I will not wear a muzzle 🤬
What ! After 5 months ! It's too early
WHO listens anymore?
Fear mongering China loving Fake News artists trying desperately to justify their shameful existence.
Just in the nick of too late....
People woke up!! Find other lies!!
It’s ok! Now that the protest have been going on for 2 weeks now and there has not been a spike in cases in those cities. It’s clear now if you leave you house just be angry and postesting. That the cure for covid-19. Not need a vaccine just protest/be angry will keep you safe
The WHO is nothing but a discredited fake science tool of social engineering.
Don't trust who. Who does Tam work for canada or who?
StrategicThghts In BC, Dr. Henry has been saying this for ages. But hey, the WHO gotta WHO instead of looking to jurisdictions that are faring better than most. Starting to wonder what their purpose is.
I’ve got them for all the lieing msm liars club. Each and everyone.
Looting too?
Talk about being late on this WHO is clearly influenced by another world power. We should use our own discretion just as BC, NZ, Australia did instead of following them blindly.
They had a full 6 months to say this and they are saying this now? Incompetence.
The WHO recommended to stop listening to Media , especially the ones that been paid by the Liberals.
CREDIBILITY 1-10 The WHO -ZERO Federal Government - ZERO The CDN MSM - ZERO The RCMP Commissioner -ZERO Indigenous Affairs Min - ZERO Resource Minister- ZERO Health Minister - ZERO LAW AND ORDER - ZERO WheresTheMoneyCatherine TrudeauCorruption LaurentianElitePrivilage
If it’s airborne then the masks should be worn at the beginning not the end. Imbisiles.
Demanding masks 3+ months into this thing is like demanding condoms at the baby shower.
defundWHO
Corrupt crap heap CTV pushing the Lies of equally corrupt Chinese run WHO and its criminal Marxist Thug leader, Tedros.
I thought this was said last week? Or maybe the week before? Maybe the month? Holy crap, it hasnt been a year has it?
I said this months ago. Now Lets see the results in a couple weeks of what happens when everyone disrespects social distancing.
WHO is nothing but another corrupt UN globalist agenda scam perpetrated on a gullible and naive worldwide populace. WHO aided & abetted China in its campaign of lies about Covid-19 going so far as to keep the virus secret from the rest of the world. WHO cares what they recommend?
Is social distancing still in place, thought it was canceled.
bit late to tell us now
The WHO can take a flying you know what! Lets be honest , most of the people wearing masks are filthy because they don`t follow the proper protocols! Its a false sense of security for the sky is falling people! What a bunch of guppy`s in this world!
Months after this all started they finally chime in on masks? No one gives af what the WHO has to say anymore.
🙄....👇🏼
The WHO are felons and lie. This is for control of people who think they are farm animals. What’s next, please quack like a duck if you go outside. Idiots.
However these recommendations do not apply for riots and looting.
Comedy writers could not invent this stuff.
