“it is Necessary that people have enough masks. However, the mask does not protect completely. If you only wear a mask, and everything else to give up – not to keep a distance, don’t wash hands, you just get sick” – said the expert.
Vujnović reminded that personal protection is not wet, and should change it after two hours of wear. She also commented on the popular belief that healthy people don’t need masks.
