March 30, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that you don’t need to wear a face mask unless you are sick or in close contact with someone infected with COVID-19. A day later U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence reiterated the advice, saying, “The average American does not need to go out and buy a mask.”
