Replying to @GabeFilippelli
Best I can figure: WHO et al. worried people will buy masks who don't really need them. But if you happen 2 have one (e.g. from home projects), it wouldn't hurt & might help to wear. You can also make your own or wear a bandana. But no substitute 4 handwashing, etc.

I have no idea. No country using masks seems to suffer from such confusion. There is also no evidence of increased risk of infection.
