I am due for injection next week at Bath hospital. I would be extremely reluctant not to go and take the chance of loosing any more of my poor sight. I have considered buying a face mask. What do you think?

Hi Bobby915,

I am linking a page from the World Health Organisation, they state that if you are healthy, you only need to use a mask if you are taking care of someone with corona.

If you are considering wearing one, take a look below where they go on how to effectively wear a mask and when to change etc. There's a couple of videos too.
