With the spread of the Omicron variant, a lady decided to play safe – perhaps too safe – by wearing at least four masks at once while taking a bus. The netizen who posted the photo, which quickly went viral on Facebook, said he was amused by what he saw. “Is the lady too scared of Covid or is she trying to use all the masks she has in excess?” the netizen asked. Some netizens doubted whether wearing multiple masks really works, while some worried the lady would be unable to breathe. The picture came as Professor Yuen Kwok-yung advised citizens on Wednesday to wear two masks at once to prevent contracting the Omicron variant.
