Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the medical profession cruelly lacks means of protection, including famous FFP2 masks, which best protect against the virus. While the government has announced that hospitals and liberal doctors should receive Wednesday, March 18, 2020, the day before, on the set of Daily, Yann Barthès and some of his chroniclers wore them around their necks. A situation that particularly annoyed doctors and Internet users who expressed their anger on social networks. Back on set, Wednesday, March 18, 2020, the host of the program broadcast on TMC took the time to ask whether or not to wear this mask to the Minister of Health, who had been duplexing since his ministry. "Masks, big subjects. Two days ago, doctors advised us to wear them and show them on the set. Yesterday, that's what we did and other doctors blamed us for wearing it. What do we do ?", asked Yann Barthès.

"You don't wear them", replied Olivier Véran without hesitation."Masks, they are rare, they are precious and they are reserved for people who must absolutely protect so that they themselves can protect the most fragile people"He said again. The brand new Minister of Health took the opportunity to recall that he never wore a mask in"normal population since the start of the epidemic"."I have no reason to wear it."According to him, containment and barrier gestures (for those who are forced to leave) are sufficient to protect against the coronavirus.
