Wearing a face mask is a major issue in the fight against the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The French general population widely started to wear this personal protective equipment usually dedicated to healthcare workers, without being educated to its correct use. People base their behaviour on what they see in the media. However, we observed that mask wearing of healthcare workers published in the media during the pandemic only conformed to good practice guidelines in 70.8% of the photographs collected on some of the main French information websites. Health authorities should communicate widely regarding the good practices for mask wearing in the general population.
佩戴口罩是抗击 COVID-19 大流行的重要问题。法国民众广泛开始佩戴这种通常供医护人员使用的个人防护设备,但并未接受正确使用方法的培训。人们的行为是基于他们在媒体上看到的内容。然而,我们观察到,在大流行期间媒体上发布的医护人员戴口罩的情况,在所收集的一些法国主要信息网站上的照片中,仅有 70.8%符合良好操作规范。卫生当局应广泛宣传民众佩戴口罩的良好做法。
