Health officials are expected to require people to use them in some stores and on public transportation when restrictions are eased.
However, they don’t want the public to rush into buying medical-style masks now, to make sure there’s enough for health workers.
Professor Mills said: “The facial masks for me are obvious.
“There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn’t all be wearing covers or face masks when we go to stores.
“Or if we go back to work and go to work in reasonably close proximity to others.”
NOT REQUIRED
Last week, The Taoiseach said that wearing face masks in public would not be mandatory if it were introduced.
Wearing masks in public is being considered as part of efforts to fight the coronavirus in Ireland, Leo Varadkar said.
His comments came when the Scottish government issued a guide for people to cover their faces in places like shops and public transport.
The power-sharing executive in Northern Ireland should consider a similar proposal.
Mr. Varadkar said: “On the subject of facial liners, I am not going to say masks because we want to make sure that masks are preserved for healthcare personnel, the issue of getting people to wear facial liners is being considered in this moment.

“We are seeing what is happening in other countries. The science is equivocal: some people will say that it is a good idea and others will say that it is a bad idea.”
“It is not one of those direct decisions where science tells you what to do.
“I think we will be in a position to offer revised advice to the Irish public later in the week. Because the science is so uncertain about it, it is not something we would make mandatory, but something we would do advice.”
