Every day many people globally with #tuberculosis face tremendous #stigma for having to #WearAMask. This needs to STOP now. No-one should face stigma for wearing a mask, whether to help prevent the spread of #TB, #COVID19, or both. #WearAMask #stopCovid #EndTB Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus World Health Organization (WHO)
