Origin of face mask

Dr. Manoon said that about 18 years ago, face masks were not widespread in Thai society. Even in hospitals, no one wears masks to prevent the spread of germs. During that time, the doctor saw a patient who had tuberculosis and was not taking medication regularly, leading to drug-resistant tuberculosis, which has severe symptoms and is more difficult to treat. The patient refused to wear a mask because he feared that if he wore one, others would be disgusted that he was sick. This was the story that gave Dr. Manoon Leechawengwong the inspiration to change Thai society’s perspective on face masks at that time. And a campaign has been launched to encourage more Thai people to wear face masks. In the early stages of the project The project itself has been criticized a lot. The name of the mask doesn’t sound like it. This is coupled with the fear that wearing a mask will damage the country’s image. It has become a country so sick that foreigners dare not visit. But when the project went on for a while Coinciding with the emergence of P’Bird Thongchai McIntyre as the central figure in the promotion. The project itself is starting to gain more recognition. Until face masks have become more widespread as seen today.

In addition, Thailand is a country that has quite a number of causes of dust. including burning things in open areas Toxic fumes from industrial plants and smoke from automobile exhaust pipes on the road These are the things that make wearing a face mask extremely necessary for Thai people.
