The current position of FIP is that all pharmacists and other pharmacy workforce members should wear personal protective equipment appropriate for their roles. In order to protect the public and themselves as healthcare workers, FIP recommends that those in patient-facing roles at least wear a medical mask in addition to other personal protective equipment that are part of droplet and contact precautions.
“It remains critical that people who use masks continue to take other measures to protect their health, including appropriate physical distancing, hand hygiene using an alcohol-based hand rub or thorough washing with soap and water,” the federation adds. https://www.fip.org/file/4722
