Conflicting messages have sowed confusion over how to protect against an epidemic that has claimed over 200 lives in China and spread to over 20 countries.
“Wearing a mask only when you feel unwell? Then why do u need soldiers when there isn’t war? It’s better to be safe than sorry,” Facebook user Kenny Chan Wai Kong posted in Singapore, where authorities have announced plans to give four masks to every household as retailers’ stocks run dry across the island.
Transmission is likely through contact with an infected person via particles in the air from coughing or sneezing, or by someone touching an infected person or object with the virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose or eyes. In Hong Kong, a lawmaker who chairs the city’s government health services panel, was slammed over a short video she posted showing people how to steam and re-use disposable face masks.
What is confusing here, when the virus is spreading...and those surgical mask, will they really protect? Are N95 not the safe ones for protection?
