The French government last month published a decree to clarify that face covering masks with a filtration efficiency lower than 90 per cent are not recommended due to mutation of the novel coronavirus. To avoid the spread of this mutated virus, the Public Health High Council recommended use of face masks with a higher filtration efficiency.
The virus changes and mutates, creating variants that may be more contagious, or more dangerous than the original strain.
Face masks are mandatory in any public area. At point of sale, compliant masks must be separated from non-compliant masks and distributors must inform when masks comply or not with sanitary authorities' recommendations.
