The new Gibraltar Messenger Report Gibraltar-Messenger.net talks about Prof David Heymann Chair of *World Health Organisation’s Strategic and Technical Advisory Group for Infectious Hazards (STAG-IH). This organization put out a final update on views for public use for mask wearing, which states, •Masks are introduced as part of a transitional package from a ‘confinement’ or ‘stay-at-home’order to demonstrate solidarity, community empowerment, understanding of the seriousness of the situation, symbolism of the whole personal hygiene package, mitigation of stigmatization, and other positive psychosocial benefits. (meaningless psycho babble words)
There are no data on the role/effectiveness of cloth masks or other facial covers in preventing disease transmission in community settings. (Annex 1)
