何晶推荐自制口罩 称“任何口罩都比没口罩强”

总理夫人何晶昨日在脸书分享,倡议“任何口罩都好过没口罩”,也指假设有两人见面,互相都戴口罩,可以进一步减低感染风险。 “有鉴于一般我们很少有机会遇到病重病患,不一定需要医用级别的手术口罩。”故此,她建议在当前全球疫情严峻、口罩吃紧的情况下,应把口罩留给前线医护人员。 在最新的一则贴文,她则提到20世纪初,一名槟城医生(即知名的伍连德医生)到正发生鼠疫的中国。他让所有医务人员戴上用手术纱布制成的口罩,起初还被嘲笑,但最后拯救了不少医疗人员性命,而备受尊崇。 2月份就有四医生呼吁戴口罩 然而,本地早在2月10日,就已有四名医生联署疾呼,全民若离开家门都要经常戴口罩。 其中一名医生也指出,理解如今不是每个人都买得到口罩,也建议民众可以以可清洗的布制口罩代替,缝入合适的(过滤)纸,或者围围巾包裹脸部,至少比起完全不戴口罩好。 她指出,她从医学院毕业后,也曾使用过布质口罩,故此不见得布质口罩现今无法使用。 麦锡威称将检讨戴口罩政策 当时卫生部医药服务总监麦锡威副教授称,尽管一些建议都很贴切,包括勤洗手等。不过人们必须记得病毒是通过飞沫(droplets)传播的,仍未有证据表明透过空气传播。“戴口罩仍不是最重要的(防疫)事项。” 不过,在本周二(31日)的跨政府部门抗疫工作小组记者会上,他则改口指该部针对口罩的使用政策,将“审慎”检视现有数据和其他国际经验。 总理称只有身体不适才戴口罩 事实上,跨政府部门工作小组领导,包括卫生部长颜金勇和国家发展部长黄循财,都曾呼吁民众不要抢购口罩,人们遵循医疗建议使用口罩。换句话说,即有不适者才需要戴口罩,而身体强健者,可以将口罩让给那些有需要者。…
