"Masks can also create a false sense of security, leading people to neglect measures such as hand hygiene and physical distancing. masks alone will not protect you from COVID-19"
@WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
@WHO "Masks are not a replacement for physical distancing, hand hygiene and other public health measures."
"Masks are only of benefit as part of a comprehensive approach in the fight against COVID-19."
@WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
"The cornerstone of the response in every country must be to find, isolate, test and care for every case, and to trace and quarantine every contact."
"That is what we know works. That is every countryβs best defense against COVID-19."
@WHO DG Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
