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. This was a clear recommendation to not wear masks (unless you're caring for sick people), and overnight it turned to mandatory masks.
