WHO Advises Fully Vaccinated People to Continue Wearing Face Masks

WHO Advises Fully Vaccinated Peoplebr to Continue Wearing Face Masks.br The World Health Organization (WHO) hasbr urged people to continue practicing COVID-19 safetybr measures regardless of their vaccination status. .br This includes wearing face masks, practicing social distancing,br maintaining proper hygiene and being mindful of ventilation. .br This differs from guidance offered in a number ofbr countries, including the United States, that encouragesbr vaccinated individuals to shed their face masks. .br Dr. Mariangela Simao, an assistantbr director-general for the WHO, stressedbr that vaccinated people “still needbr to protect themselves.”.br People cannot feel safe just because theybr had the two doses … Vaccine alone won’t stopbr community transmission … People need tobr continue to use masks consistently, be inbr ventilated spaces, hand hygiene ... thebr physical distance, avoid crowding, Dr. Mariangela Simao, via CNBC.br The WHO’s call for fully vaccinated people tobr “play it safe” comes as the highly contagious delta variantbr continues to spread rapidly across the globe. .br According to ‘The Wall Street Journal,’ halfbr of adults infected with the delta variant in Israelbr had received both doses of the Pfizer vaccine. .br WHO officials say the variant is in at least 92 countriesbr now and will “pick off” the most vulnerable people. .br It’s more efficient in the way it transmitsbr between humans and it will eventually find thosebr vulnerable individuals who will become severely ill,br have to be hospitalized and potentially die, Dr.
