[Updated on Friday, April 17 at 10:45 AM] Faced with the Covid-19 epidemic, wearing a protective mask (be it a blue surgical mask, a "duck beak" mask, made-at-home or respiratory tissue type FFP2) is recommended by the Academy of Medicine not only to caregivers but also to the general population. Emmanuel Macron also said that "the State will give French people time to obtain a mask for the general public from this moment until 11 May, " in washable fabric and therefore reusable several times". "For the most exposed professions and for certain situations such as public transport, its use could become systematic,' ", he continued, as in Luxembourg or other European countries. The distribution modalities have not yet been mentioned, and it is also unknown whether this anti-projection mask will be distributed free of charge or paid, indicated Olivier Véran, still on RTL on April 14.
