Health Min Kikilias on Objections to Face Masks

September 7, 2020

ATHENS — Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias responded to those to face mask objectors on Monday by citing the example of children in hospitals, who wear a mask every day.

"The mask protects from the viruses and from COVID -19 and is an important tool in the battle against this disease," he said, adding that "I respect every citizen's reaction and, of course, of the parents but I want to say that the mask protects us and this is scientifically documented. Anyone can have an opinion but I am obliged to say and support what the science says".
