PBS News Hour- Los Angeles mayor tells 4 million residents to wear masks

Apr 2, 2020 3:29 PM EDT LOS ANGELES — The mayor of Los Angeles urged 4 million residents to wear masks to combat the coronavirus when they walk out in public, even as state health officials shied away from requiring a coverup. Homemade cloth masks, or even a “tucked-in bandanna,” will help reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the nation’s second-largest city and remind people to practice safe social distancing, Mayor Eric Garcetti said Wednesday as he donned a black cloth mask to make his point. “I know this looks surreal,” Garcetti said. “We’re going to have to get used to seeing each other like this … This will be the look.” But he urged people against using medical-grade masks, such as N95 or surgical masks, which are in short supply and needed for health care workers and first responders. Garcetti also said people should only use masks […]

New York Post- Experts say face masks can help slow COVID-19, despite previous claims

By Paula Froelich March 28, 2020 | 3:14pm | To mask or not to mask, that is the question. But scientists now think you may want to put a face mask on after all — if you have one. Their advice is laid out in a new report in Science Magazine. People in Asian countries have been wearing masks for months, which the head of the Chinese Center for Disease and Prevention supports. In the US, face masks are in short supply and government officials want the rapidly dwindling supply saved for health care professionals. “This virus is transmitted by droplets and close contact. Droplets play a very important role — you’ve got to wear a mask, because when you speak, there are always droplets coming out of your mouth,” the Chinese Center’s George Gao told the magazine. “Many people have asymptomatic or presymptomatic infections.
