 Albanian doctor in the United States, Skënder Murtezani in a direct link to Albanian media said that the mask is the only means of protection, at a time when there is still no vaccine to fight the virus.

Referring to the example of New Zealand, the Cornell professor of clinical medicine appealed to "come together for 6 weeks to prevent the virus from multiplying and it would actually be the death of the virus".

"Since the beginning of my interviews, some have called it extreme my opinion that masks should be used strictly. Masks were the only salvation until the vaccine came. Also given that no vaccine is 100 percent curable, the mask is the only thing that prevents the spread of the virus. This disease is spread through saliva, speech, coughing or sneezing and the only care is masks.

"The mask is the only salvation at the moment. I proposed a very simple thing. If we get together for 6 weeks we will not allow the virus to multiply and in fact, it would be the death of the virus but we must be of one voice there is no room for politics, to speculate, and to grasp different theories. I tell everyone and the government to try and get together to use the masks for 6 weeks. I promise it will disappear," said Murtezani.

"The concrete example is New Zealand. From May 1 with strict quarantine measures at first, then the necessary mask and distance, the virus disappeared in New Zealand. It was an exemplary state, why not us. Why we still speculate, we take examples from studies in vain. To use a mask, to use it in a disciplinary manner, not to touch the face, the mask. Let's be together in 6 weeks, more or less we can win this war in our country. "Here is New Zealand, China, wherein won the war within a month and a half", said Murtezani.
