Did the WHO ever change its stance on wearing facemasks (specifically: "only wear a mask if you're symptomatic or in the same household as someone who is", rather than the arguably more responsible "wear a mask, period" guidance of e.g. the CDC)?

I feel like this is an attempt to double-down on that "guidance". I would hope that the WHO cares more about saving lives than saving face.

Either way, this statement is meaningless when unaccompanied by data.
