Don't buy N95 masks if not required, medical professionals need it more | With Sumit Awasthi
Amid Coronavirus pandemic, many people have rushed to medical shops to buy N95 masks as a security measure against Coronavirus. However, this has not only led to black marketing of the masks, but also created a shortage for medical professionals who need it the most. Common man, who is neither has Coronavirus, nor is in regular contact with an infected patient, doesn't need an N95 mask. But doctors, nurses and medical support staff do. Is it time government considers temporary ban on public sale of N95 masks?
