Why Face Masks Will Stick Around After the Pandemic

For the past year, we've all been wearing face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. But after the pandemic ends, don't think you can toss your mask in the trash. Masks are not only here to stay; they're also going to become more fashionable! Face masks will stick around after the pandemic, and here's why.

Part of Our New Normal

Masks are becoming a part of our new normal. They're an important part of our lives now and will continue to be so even after the pandemic ends. Since they are being worn by everyone from children to seniors, it is essential that they are high quality and fit easily into our lives. 

Custom masks and accessories are purchases worth considering. If you want to try your hand at making your own mask, choosing the right elastic is critical. Creating custom looks to match your brand or make a statement may increase your willingness to wear a mask.

Cold and Flu Season

Face masks may also stick around after the pandemic because they're not just a solution to pandemic viruses—they're also an effective way to prevent cold and flu viruses from spreading.

Cold and flu season is abundant during the winter, and it's time we stop thinking of these common bugs as harmless inconveniences. The truth is that colds and the flu are serious infections that can lead to further complications such as pneumonia. Like many other illnesses, cold and flu viruses can be spread through the transmission of small amounts of saliva or mucus when an infected person coughs or sneezes. 

Fighting Air Pollution

Our new fashion accessory is also a potential way to reduce exposure to pollutants in our environment. The next time you see someone wearing a mask on the subway or walking down the street, consider the different air-borne pollutants we breathe in each day.

You might think that masks are only practical during pandemics, but thanks to their ability to filter our air pollutants, they could become part of life after an outbreak has subsided.

Vaccinated or Not

Even if the vaccine is available to all, and even if it's effective against the next strain of the virus, it's not going to be a silver bullet. Viruses constantly mutate and evolve. Even if we do manage to develop an effective vaccine against the pandemic, it will probably only work on some strains of the virus; there will still be many other ways for you or your loved ones to get sick. As such, wearing masks will continue to be important even in years to come.

Conclusion

The future is never clear, but after seeing the sharp decline in flu cases over the past few years, it is possible to see a clear cause and effect between wearing masks and preventing illness. Additionally, we must recognize that due to personal convictions or additional health concerns, some people choose not to mask up. The choice is ultimately yours, but the consequences affect us all.

Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Outer Space Former Yugoslavia Sudan Ukraine Cambodia Myanmar Central African Republic Cameroon DPRK Uganda World No Tobacco Day Noon Guest/Briefing Tomorrow OUTER SPACE Today, the Secretary-General published a policy brief on outer space governance, the seventh in the Our Common Agenda series that is aimed at informing Member States ahead of the Summit of the Future next year. The brief was released to coincide with today’s start of the session of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. In the policy brief the Secretary-General says we must ensure that effective governance is in place to propel innovation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The brief also outlines a number of recommendations for Member States and the UN system relating to the sustainability, security, and governance of outer space. FORMER YUGOSLAVIA You may have seen that in a press release earlier today, the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals concerning the delivery of the appeal judgement in the case against Jovica Stanišić and Franko Simatović. The Secretary-General takes note of this appeal and extends his thoughts to the victims, and survivors and their families who have suffered from the crimes for which both defendants have been found guilty.  The judgement marks the conclusion of the last case relating to core crimes that the Mechanism inherited from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, which as you will recall was established in 1993 to prosecute persons responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia since 1991. The Secretary-General commends the judges and staff involved in this case for their unfaltering dedication and hard work since 2003, when the first indictment was filed. SUDAN A number of you have been asking me this morning about Sudan and the closed consultation this afternoon, I can confirm that the Secretary-General did, indeed, ask to brief Security Council members on the dramatic situation in Sudan, that will be done in closed consultations this afternoon. And moving on to situation on the ground, the International Organization for Migration says more than 1.2 million people have been displaced inside Sudan as a result of the conflict. IOM’s estimates are based on preliminary reports from field teams, while additional reports are likely to emerge as humanitarian access improves. To help those in need, we and our partners continue to deliver aid wherever and whenever we can. The World Food Programme continued its distributions in Khartoum State, reaching 15,000 people trapped in the Omdurman area with emergency food. Across the country, WFP has now reached more than 782,000 men, women and children with food and nutrition support over the past four weeks. The agency is also providing emergency telecommunications services to all of the UN system and the wider humanitarian community in Sudan, where - as you can imagine - basic connectivity remains very much a challenge. As the UN Population Fund has started to provide life-saving medicines and reproductive health supplies to maternity hospitals in Wad Medani in Al-Jazirah state. Medical teams at this hospital are also providing reproductive health services to women and girls who have fled from the capital, Khartoum.

Atrocities from war are being documented on social media. This material can be used as evidence to help prosecute war crimes. But the BBC has spoken to people affected by violent conflict who have seen the major social media companies take down this content. The increasing use of AI means the companies own policies of allowing graphic content to stay on their platforms if it shows human rights abuses, are being undermined, leading to vital evidence being lost for good.

The coronation of King Charles III will be the first time a King of England has his coronation televised and only the second-ever British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. It’s a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance, cloaked in mystery and steeped in centuries-old traditions…that comes from a healthy dose of historical pettiness and happenstance. During the ceremony, the monarch will be presented with the crown jewels, almost all of which were destroyed, altered, or lost to time over the often-tumultuous centuries of British history. While the crown is the centrepiece of the regalia – what do sceptres, swords and a Scottish stone have to do with being anointed to the British throne? Global News explains.

When Russia invaded Ukraine just over a year ago, the question was raised if China could be watching what happened to determine if it could launch its own invasion of the independent island nation of Taiwan. For years, Chinese President Xi Jinping has said Taiwan would some day reunify with China but outside of military exercises near the island, there has yet to be actual movement that has signified if Beijing would take the next step and try to invade.

Play Video: Mummering: Newfoundland's unique holiday tradition comes roaring back


This past weekend in St. John’s Newfoundland, hundreds of people hit the streets for the Atlantic province’s annual Mummers Parade. As part of this festive tradition, people gather up old clothes that have been lying around the house –tablecloths and oversized shirts are a favourite – and assemble a “mummer’s rig” or costume. Originally, mummering was a house-visiting tradition. It first appeared in Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1800’s, though the practice dates back much further than that.

Play Video: Breast cancer survivors say issues like early menopause, loss of identity often overlooked


Just days ahead of her 40th birthday, Hilary Boswell received a terrifying diagnosis – She had breast cancer. She received a unilateral mastectomy, a surgery she didn’t necessarily want but felt pressured into by her surgeon. It left her with one breast and, she says, it changed the way she saw herself. “I remember struggling so much with the idea of walking around with one boob,” she said. “I just really felt like I knew what I wanted… and yeah, I wish I had done it, “ she added, referring to a double mastectomy. Like Boswell, other cancer survivors sometimes struggle to accept the changes brought on by surgery or chemotherapy – such as early menopause, or loss of libido. And they don’t always get the support they need. As Alyssa Julie reports in our series Against all Odds, some survivors and experts are asking health professionals to shed more light on the impact of a cancer diagnosis on the body and the mind. - With files from Michelle Butterfield.
