WHO recommendations from March 31, 2020.\
\
\"World Health Organization officials Monday said they still recommend people not wear face masks unless they are sick with Covid-19 or caring for someone who is sick.\
\
Masks may actually increase your coronavirus risk if worn improperly, surgeon general warns:\
\
\"There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there\'s some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly,\" Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO health emergencies program, said at a media briefing in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday.\"\
