J-government urges preparation for upcoming outbreak of new flu strain
http://mdn.mainichi.jp –
A government health panel is recommending the use of masks in the event a new type of influenza breaks out in Japan, suggesting that households should store 20 to 25 masks per person. The panel recommended pleated masks and those designed to fit closely to people's faces. Gauze masks can also be worn, but they are not considered sufficient to block out new types of influenza. N95 masks which fit the face closely are not recommended because they make it difficult to breathe worn for long periods and are not suited to daily life.
