Protecting yourself and others – the mask works both ways

There has been a lot of confusion since the COVID-19 pandemic took hold about the efficacy of wearing face masks in public.

But now that supply chains are more secure, and most hospitals and health care facilities are properly stocked with PPE, there seems to be no reason not to “mask up”. We asked Dr Ron Shnier, our Chief Medical Officer, to clarify the latest thinking on the mask issue.
