Emerging story

A picture of an official document that the WHO doesn't recommend wearing a face mask during COVID-19 is circulating online. 

This picture circulating claims the following:

1. There is no direct evidence on the effectiveness of universal masking to prevent infection.

2. Health care workers using cotton cloth masks are at an increased risk of influenza-like illness.

3. Wearing a mask may provide the general public with a false sense of security and can be a difficulty in communication.

4. A study of 455 individuals shows that asymptomatic people are not causing infectivity.
