LONDON - The World Health Organisation updated its guidance on Friday to recommend that governments ask everyone to wear fabric face masks in public areas where there is a risk of transmission of Covid-19 to help reduce the spread of the pandemic disease.

"We have evidence now that if this is done properly it can provide a barrier ... for potentially infectious droplets." It had always recommended that medical masks be worn by people who are sick and by those caring for them.
