Jennifer Aniston requests her fans to wear a mask before they step out of their homes as she thinks it is the right thing to do amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The Friends alum feels the debate related to whether wear or not wear a protective face mask when a person goes outside amid COVID-19 has led to massive upset and confusion around the world. The star is trying her best to tell people to be careful.
The 51-year-old actress recently took to social media and wrote that she realizes wearing a protective face mask can be uncomfortable, as well as, inconvenient for people. However, she tells her fans that companies shutting down and people losing their jobs because of the global health crisis is even more serious. Jen also mentioned that the healthcare personnel is exhausted, to say the least.
The Morning Show star also feels the virus has killed so many people because enough is not being done. Aniston is convinced that there should be no debate on donning a mask while stepping outside because a majority of health experts also feel that way, Daily Mail reports.
The actress concluded by mentioning that if people “care about human life” they should wear a mask. They should also encourage others around them to wear one too.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has led people in the United States to wear makeshift, cotton, or surgical face masks while leaving their houses to purchase essential commodities or even when they step out to exercise. Most of the states in America are now in different phases of lockdown amid the coronavirus attack.
Although the World Health Organization and the CDC have lately recommended that a healthy person does not have to wear a face mask, several health experts have recommended the requirement to wear some kind of a protective mask in public. They feel that doing so will lower the threat of asymptomatic spreading of the deadly virus.
Jennifer Aniston’s recent post seems to coincide with tremendous pressure being reportedly put on Donald Trump to wear a mask and create a good example for the Americans.
Meanwhile, Jen is not the only star in Hollywood who has requested their fans to cover up their faces before stepping outside. Hollywood heavyweight Tom Hanks has also made a similar appeal to his followers and has told them to maintain social distancing. The actor has requested people to wear masks amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
Both Jennifer Aniston, as well as, Tom Hanks has come out with public statements to encourage Americans to take all possible care of themselves and the people around them. The Forrest Gump star confessed in March this year that he, as well as, his wife had suffered from COVID-19, Fox News reports.
