Dr. Paweł Grzesiowski in the program “Onet Rano.” admitted that he did not understand the departure from the obligation to wear masks. – If the coronavirus stays with us for many years, why should we give up tools that protect us? The consequence that the virus will stay for many years is that the masks may also be there forever, he said.
Why should you wear masks?
Guest of the program “Onet Rano.” was Dr. Paweł Grzesiowski, pediatrician and expert of the Supreme Medical Council for combating COVID-19.
He referred to the planned lifting of the requirement to wear masks in confined spaces. — There is still an epidemic in Poland, it has not been canceled, as the minister clearly said. So there is an epidemic, but as if it did not exist — said and highlighted the situations in which masks should be worn. — For me, the mask is like an umbrella, so it is raining, I take out my umbrella. I show up in some place where there are a lot of people I don’t know, I don’t know if they are sick, I pull out my mask.

— A mask that is worn on the street by healthy people is not needed. We are talking about a situation where I am sick and I do not want to infect others, and since there is no more isolation, I go to the store and I have a runny nose, cough, I do not know if I have COVID-19, then I should go in a mask — said Grzesiowski.
— The second situation is when I go where there are a lot of people, I don’t know the human ones, so I put on a mask so as not to get infected. This should remain the standard — he explained.
The masks may stay with us forever
Dr. Grzesiowski spoke about the near future related to the pandemic.
— If the coronavirus stays with us for many years, why should we give up tools that protect us? The consequence of the fact that the virus will last for many years is that the masks may also be there forever — he pointed out.
— The mask is a filter, thanks to which I breathe air that is partially purified of the virus. I believe that masks should be promoted very much as a personal protective equipment. Not as an obligation to wear them everywhere and at any time, but in situations where there is a risk — the expert added.
