Face masks: Yes or no???

Face masks are usually used to protect us from virus and particles that are in the air. They are usually used by surgeons and other kinds of doctors. Sometimes people with diseases like cancer uses them because the treatment affects their immune system. Different allergies can cause also respiratory problems and people who need them also usually wear face masks to prevent them.

Lately with the coronavirus many people are buying them to prevent themselves from the virus. Because of this it is very difficult for people who really need them to find them.

First, the government only wanted people to buy face masks if they were infected or they had symptoms, but currently they are thinking about recommending them to all the people because some people don't have symptoms and they don't know If they are infected.

In my opinion people must be responsible. Most of us don't need to wear face masks and if we buy all the masks, people who needs them won't be able to buy them. I think that if you have been with someone who is infected you should stay at home for two weeks and wear a mask only if you are infected because you can pass the virus to other people. In some countries like Iceland you can be tested to know if you have the virus and it's free so they know who needs to wear masks, so people who need them can buy them.
