The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends the wearing of protective masks to reduce the spread and transmission of the coronavirus pandemic.
Meanwhile, there is a huge shortage of masks and other equipment, globally, which is used to fight the virus. Resultantly, the majority of the people, particularly in poor countries are not adhering to some of the WHO recommendations.
Reports suggest that a number of health caregivers around the world have contracted coronavirus and some have died as they worked without gloves and other protective clothes.
