The rising COVID-19 pandemic could soon force many countries to make people wear face masks again. The U.S. government officials say that they are also planning to do this since CDC and WHO advise them.
CDC (Centers for Disease Control), WHO (World Health Organization), and other health agencies started to suggest re-implementing face masks after new variants appeared. These include the latest COVID-19 Delta and Lambda strains.
As of the moment, the United States' daily infected cases are increasing because of the new variants. On the other hand, CDC also announced recently that the N95 mask is still effective against the new strains.
Meanwhile, there are various reasons why fully vaccinated individuals need to wear masks. One of these is protecting the people around them. Getting vaccinated doesn't mean you are invulnerable from COVID-19.
Vaccines are developed to prevent serious symptoms from harming you. This means that there's still a chance you can get the novel coronavirus.
Absence of Face Mask Leads To Some Hospitalizations?
WMFE 90.7 reported that some experts believe the absence of face masks might have affected the rising COVID-19 cases in the United States and other countries.
They added now that the face protections are not implemented, hospitalizations have increased, especially since new strains are spreading in different parts of the globe.
