The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are expected to issue a new guidance to Americans advising them to wear masks in everyday life in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus, a medical author claims.

Dr. Matt McCarthy, assistant professor of medicine at Weill Cornell and staff physician at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, wrote on Twitter that the new guidance was expected to be released within the next 10 days and will go further than the current recommendation that only people who at greater risk.

“Americans will be advised to wear masks in everyday life,” wrote McCarthy, author of Superbugs: The Race to Stop an Epidemic. “Current recommendation is for high-risk groups only.”

???? Get ready – new CDC mask wearing guidance (requirement?) will be coming in 10 days. Talk about likely awkward about face change from past “don’t wear mask” mantra. America might potentially become a mask wearing society like Asian soon. #COVID19 https://t.co/zvm0s6Tcc3
