people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others”.

* “The World Health Organization (WHO) advises that governments should encourage the use of non-medical fabric masks, which can act as a barrier to prevent the spread of the virus from the wearer to others where there are many cases of COVID-19, for people in the general public where physical distancing of at least 1 metre is not possible.”
