Duchess Camilla sparked a wild discussion after showing up at an appointment with a visor instead of a face mask.
Duchess Camilla (73) visited the Medical Detection Dogs organization on Wednesday (September 9) to learn more about tests with dogs that are being taught to detect Covid-19 in humans. At this appointment, the Duchess of Cornwall opted for a clear visor in front of the face instead of a mouth and nose mask. "She thinks that communication is much easier when you see someone talking or smiling," says a Royal expert, explaining this decision, according to "Express".
Insufficient protection?
But the wife of the British heir to the throne, Prince Charles (71), was criticized for her choice of corona protection. The government's guidelines for containing the coronavirus stipulate that people in public transport, places of worship, museums, leisure facilities, libraries, banks, post offices and shops must wear a face mask at all times. The critics quoted in the article warned that a visor was "as good as useless" "to prevent the spread of droplets".
Since face protection is not compulsory in well-ventilated rooms and in places where a safe distance can be maintained, including outside appointments, the royal family member has probably not broken the rules.
