The Minister of Health, Víctor Zamora, reported that the Government will promote and grant subsidies so that the population can use facial protectors as a measure to prevent coronavirus infections (COVID-19).
Zamora pointed out that to make the use of these protectors, which cover eyes, nose and mouth, mandatory, it must first be guaranteed that the population can have easy access to them.
“We as a ministry promote the use of facial protectors, since contamination occurs through the eyes, nose and mouth. In the Cabinet we have already discussed its mandatory nature, but we have to guarantee that this can be fulfilled, because otherwise it would be an empty rule ”, asserted Latina.
“Many ministers, and the president himself, are convinced about their use and we are going to promote and subsidize the use of face shields from now on”he indicated.
The head of the Health sector explained that in the case of masks the State bought 10 million units to distribute to the population free of charge in order for its use to become massive.
The Defense Minister, Walter Martos, announced last Saturday that the proposal to use the protections or transparent lenses was raised by the Minister of Health, Víctor Zamora.
“The Minsa will communicate how transparent or mica protections will be implemented and where they can be used. It is recommended that people use it because it protects eyesight, nose and mouth “, he claimed.
