Aussies should ‘absolutely’ consider masks, says Professor Kidd
In an opinion piece, the deputy Chief Medical Officer urges everyone to consider wearing masks to protect themselves from coronavirus
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Professor Michael Kidd has called on all Australians to consider wearing face masks to protect themselves from coronavirus.
All Victorians will be required to wear masks from Monday, but Professor Kidd says every Australian should “absolutely” consider it.
“I think people should be considering wearing masks, but particularly in those areas where we have community transmission,” he told the ABC on Friday.
Health officials have previously advised people in areas where community transmission is occurring and social distancing can’t be complied with to wear masks.
