turezureーマスク。。１世帯に２枚の布マスク配布・WHOや医師会の見解は？(2020/04/03)

Abe announced on April 1 that all household in japan would receive two cloth face masks,which can be washed and repeatedly reused,whereas The world Health Organization did not recommend using cloth face masks when corona virus was at a stage of increasing the number of infections ;the President of Japan Medical Association said 「マスクは安心効果のみで、ウイルス防止効果無し」

where have all the masks gone

My opinion:
It might be better than nothing;I might as well get the masks😤.
But,top priority is "to distribute the masks to the medical workers on site as soon as possible".
