The pandemic of the flu A continues his advance, and the groundless fear of million persons in the whole world goes out afloat. From this health blog we keep on analyzing and wondering everything relative to the flu A: is it necessary to use masks? The immediate answer would be simply not, except cases of contagion.
The experts r ecomiendan that the general public does not use the masks, at least at the moment, since they do not avoid the contagion. As has shown the National Center of protection Means (INSHT), only masks have to use the infected persons, the sanitary personnel, for the most part, although the notice also includes the relatives and persons near to the patients of flu A.
This excludes the use of mask to the general population. In fact, they have verified that the use of the masks does not reduce the spread of the virus and most of masks do not avoid the flu contagion A. Of course, in those open spaces, as in the street, the use of the masks seems completely groundless, since the virus is his wide ones for the air.
Now then, it is possible to do a small distinction in the use of the masks. On the one hand, we meet the surgical masks, which must be used by the flu patients A, since they help to avoid to extend the pandemic. For other, we meet the protection masks, which are directed to the sanitary personnel and to the relatives of the patients. It is ready it might do more exhaustive, since inside the latter type of masks there are different protection levels.
All this does not remove that the masks are effective to avoid the spread of the virus of the flu A, although the majority of them does not avoid the contagion. I insist, at the moment they are not indicated for the general population, only for patients, relatives and sanitary personnel.
