“We recommend that all other substitutes for face masks be abandoned: scarves, shields and medical masks or respirators should be worn,” said Mindaugas Stankūnas, a professor at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU), at a conference on press on Tuesday.
According to him, not all substitutes for medical masks or respirators, according to research, are effective enough.
“We recommend that you wear at least medical masks in all situations. Scarves and (cloth masks, aut.p.) could be used as an aesthetic tool: a person has to put on a medical mask, after that, they can put on a cloth mask for other reasons, ”M. Stankūnas noted.
According to him, it is suggested that it be an instruction.
“We think it should be a guide, not a recommendation. The Expert Council (would suggest – aut.p.) that this would be a requirement,” said the professor.
Mr. Stankūnas indicated that, in his opinion, such instructions could come into force in the near future.
More expensive
Experts also propose that the government extend the quarantine regime.
“The entire council of experts unanimously agreed that the quarantine as a measure should be extended. The fact that the very number of cases raised has reached that it no longer drops, there is even a certain increase. This is not called a third wave, but it’s worrying, ”said Vaidotas Grigas, director of the Molėtai Hospital.
The government will decide on these issues on Wednesday.
