NO NEED TO WEAR MASKS IN CHINA ???

China’s National Health Commission (NHS) published a guide on their official website on 18th March, it gave people a detail guidance of when and where you do or do not need to wear mask.

(China’s National Health Commission Mask Wearing Guidance)

We has summarized 3 main points to help you understand this guidance.

For regular people, you don’t need to wear masks under these circumstances.

At home, outdoors in un crowded places with good air flow.

For healthy adults, the risk of infection is low if they are alone or do not have close contact with others.

Actually “home & outdoor” could cover a lot of situations, for example: 

• Healthy people stay at home, do not need to wear masks;

• Walk in a quiet park alone, do not need to wear masks;

• Pick up packages from down stairs, do not need to wear masks;

• Drive to work, do not need to wear masks;

Overall, if there is no close contact with people (less than 1 meter), and not in a risky environment, we don’t need be over protected.

Daily work and shopping, get the mask ready with you.

The guidelines also mentioned that, even in working and living situations, you do not need to wear mask all the time.

For example, in shopping centers, restaurants, offices, meeting rooms, workshops and other occasions, just get the mask ready with you. 

You only need to put the mask on when you have close contact with people (less than 1 meter).

If the environment starts to get crowed, it's safer to wear masks. In addition, we do not recommend frequently removing masks.

You should wear mask under 2 conditions.

• Close contact, close to people in risky environment (less than 1 meter);

• Showing symptoms of sickness, such as coughing or sneezing.

Masks are recommended for risky environments such as: hospitals, bus stations, train stations, subway stations, public transportation.

In addition, masks should be worn if living with people who are quarantined at home, recovering from hospital, or in contact with people suspected of being infected.

COVID-19 has another important transmission route: contact transmission. 

Washing your hands properly and keeping a safe distance from others is also important.

Don't be careless even when you are wearing masks.

After this outbreak, we hope everyone can develop three good habits:

• Wash your hands frequently for 20 seconds at a time;

• Wear masks when you have respiratory symptoms;

• Protect others when you are coughing or sneezing .

Protect yourself by following the scientific method, not only can ease everyone's relatively tight inventory of masks, but also can save the limited protection resources such as masks to the medical staff and people who in the most need. 

The epidemic eventually will be over, we believe that the day of taking off the mask completely, is not far away!
