BREAKING:
ECDC published their updated guidance today of community usage of Face Masks (Previous from 9 April 2020). It's directed towards public health authorities and the public in EU countries. I broke this technical report down for you.
Here we go…

For you that don't want to read the full report (something I recommend), these are the key findings summarized.

So if ECDC´s general conclusion is that... "based on the assessment of the available scientific evidence, no recommendation can be made on
the preferred use of medical or non-medical face masks in the community" who is not aligned with that in EU? I made a list for you.

This document provides an update to replaces the ECDC opinion on the suitability of using face masks in the
community published on 9 April 2020. The aim was to review whether the scientific evidential basis has
changed since April 2020... and it is quite compelling
