– The nozzles work especially well in environments where you can’t keep your distance, Ryan said.
Michael Ryan pointed out from the mouthpiece should along with other measurements. Just as important is washing your hands. He also emphasized the need for distance.
Currently not required
On Tuesday morning, Swedish state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell was invited to the TV4 program “Malou after ten”. There he commented on Ryan’s play. Tegnell says the Public Health Authority is warning him when WHO comments on the situation in Sweden.
– We take it with us and we will have a discussion about what it means. But each country must do what is best for the country. It’s difficult for another institution to do such an evaluation, Tegnell said.

Anders Tegnell says that there are situations where bandages can be used. He also explains to TV4 that they maintain a continuous dialogue with municipalities and regions in Sweden. The measures to be implemented are evaluated.
Tegnell believes that face masks are currently not considered necessary in Sweden.

– There may be situations where we need to wear bandages, even here in Sweden. It still doesn’t help to wear a mask if they’re still in close contact with each other, Tegnell says.
He emphasizes that there is insufficient evidence that masks have any effect.
Tegnell refers to other countries that have requirements for the use of face masks. There is still a further spread of coronary heart disease.
The use of masks has been controversial in Sweden.
Tegnell thinks he’s wrong
Several infection control experts believe that Tegnell is wrong. On Monday, Jan Albert from the Karolinska Institute and Fredrik Elgh from Umeå University said stricter measures are needed in Sweden. They both noted that face masks will limit infection.
TV4 has also contacted British researchers who believe that the bandages have an effect.
