 'If, in fact, a person who may or may not be infected wants to prevent infecting somebody else, the best way to do that is with a mask. Perhaps that's the way to go.'

 The World Health Organization stood by its position that masks should not be used by healthy members of the public because they are "commonly misused." Wearing a mask could provide a false sense of security and cause people to become lax with other important hygiene measures. Removing a mask so it doesn't cover your nose or touching the outside of the mask can make it less effective, according to the WHO.
