The World Health Organization on Friday released new guidelines on who should wear masks and where they should be worn, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.<br />According to Business Insider, everyone in areas with community transmission should wear a face mask when social distancing isn't feasible.<br />Likewise, people over 60 and those who have underlying health conditions should wear a medical mask in spaces where social distancing is difficult.<br />Healthcare workers in areas with widespread transmission should also wear medical masks, not just those working with novel coronavirus patients.<br />WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom also stressed that masks alone do not protect people from the coronavirus.
