If you are healthy, do not buy one. Save them for people in healthcare who actually need it, as new cases of coronavirus disease emerge
As the number of COVID-19 cases in India rise, the need of the moment is to ensure we do not encourage mass panic. Confusion over precautionary measures has also led to a global shortage of masks. As people buy disposable surgical masks off the counter, its prices are skyrocketing. Do you even need one?
Wear only if you are sick
Masks are not necessary if you are healthy, the World Health Organisation in its notice has made it clear. “Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing,” it adds. Even though visuals of men and women in airports wearing masks have become common, you would do better avoiding travel, than travelling with a mask on.
“Surgical masks generally should not be worn by any healthy person,” says Chennai-based Dr Vijayalakshmi B, Senior Consultant – Infectious Diseases, Kauvery Hospital. “If you are sick, say you have a cough or cold, then wearing a mask would help prevent droplets from going outside.”
In fact, the better option is to stay indoors when you are sick. “People with any respiratory infection have to be home quarantined,” says Dr Vijayalakshmi. So the question of wearing masks in public only arises until you get checked by a doctor, to make sure you don’t spread any infection in the meantime.
In such cases, surgical masks are okay. “You should also wear masks if you are healthy but taking care of a sick person in your family,” she adds.
Other than this, there is no role of wearing masks in public, she emphasises, and should be left for healthcare providers: doctors, nurses, or even security staff in hospitals. “There is proof that wearing a regular mask in the hospital setting decreases the chance of transmissions,” she says.
The pricier N95 masks are also to be used by those working in close contact with patients.
