Sweden’s top infectious disease expert warns that masks alone aren’t the solution to addressing the novel coronavirus that some believe it to be.
As the Financial Times reports, the Scandinavian country has approached the pandemic in a different way than neighboring Norway, Denmark, and Finland. For instance, the other Nordic countries have contrasted with Sweden’s approached when it comes to wearing masks.
Anders Tegnell, the equivalent of America’s Dr. Anthony Fauci, has been vocal against relying on facial coverings to limit the virus’ spread.
“It is very dangerous to believe face masks would change the game when it comes to COVID-19,” he said.
While he believes that masks can be used as part of a larger strategy, it shouldn’t be considered a solution in itself.
