In areas of cluster or community transmission of #COVID19, WHO recommends all people #WearAMask in health settings, including #healthworkers, caregivers, other staff and service providers, outpatients and visitors. This is called “universal masking” in health facilities.

If you are taking care at home for a #COVID19 patient and it is not possible to stay in separate room, wear a medical mask 😷 and keep a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet). Keep the room well-ventilated. #WearAMask
