The World Health Organization (WHO) has changed its advice on face masks, saying they should be worn in public where social distancing is not possible to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
The global body said new information showed they could provide “a barrier for potentially infectious droplets”.
Some countries already recommend or mandate face coverings in public.
