Mask wearing rate "When it reaches 95%, there is no need to restrict going out" WHO November 20, 4:46

As the infection of the new coronavirus spreads rapidly in European countries, the European Regional Secretariat of the World Health Organization (WHO) said that if the mask wearing rate reaches 95%, going out restrictions will not be necessary, and it is recommended to wear masks thoroughly I called.

This was stated at a press conference on the 19th by Mr. Kruge, Executive Secretary of the WHO European Regional Secretariat.

In this, Secretary-General Kruge said, "Wearing a mask alone is not a solution and needs to be combined with other measures." "If the wearing rate reaches 95%, there will be no need to restrict going out." Said.

In Europe, before the spread of the new coronavirus infection, it was generally not customary to wear a mask, and in countries and regions where it is not mandatory to wear a mask, there are a number of cases in which people continue to contact people without wearing a mask. ..

"The mask wearing rate in Europe is still less than 60%, which makes it difficult to avoid going out restrictions," said Kruge, and increasing the mask wearing rate is essential to lift the outing restrictions. He called for thorough wearing of masks in places where it is difficult to keep a distance from people.
