We had two members of NPHET before the committee on, I understand, 9 June. Their advice at the time was equivocal, but the advice in Ireland has changed since and masks are now mandatory in a public transport or any confined transport setting and their wearing is advised in indoor settings. Why is the advice of the WHO still so equivocal?
