Kate Hudson didn’t even notice that she had bought the wrong mask.
Since the new Coronavirus COVID-19 has begun to spread from a market in Wuhan, China to other areas, everyone been taking greater precaution to protect themselves, especially in countries where they’ve already confirmed cases of infection.
However, although experts insist that it isn’t necessary for the general population to use masks and that these should only be used by those infected, those who travel to risk areas or those who have contact with people with virus symptoms, many people go against the advice of professionals…
Like these celebrities, who are taking precautions but also alarming their fans:
1. Gwyneth Paltrow
“En route to Paris. Paranoid? Prudent? Panicked? Placid? Pandemic? Propaganda? Paltrow’s just going to go ahead and sleep with this thing on the plane. I’ve already been in this movie. Stay safe. Don’t shake hands. Wash hands frequently,” wrote the actress on her Instagram account.
2. Kim Kardashian
Kim is also concerned about the virus and revealed on her Instagram account that she is traveling with an “emergency kit” that includes a face mask, vitamin C tablets and rubber gloves, in case she needs them.
3. Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson just shared a picture with a mask on and wrote “Travel 2020” with a worried emoticon, trying to prove that she was taking precautions. However, it was her very followers who alerted her that the mask she was wearing, which was of a surgical type, wouldn’t keep her safe because it doesn’t completely isolate the exterior like safer ones do.
4. Úrsula Corberó
As a joke, the Spanish actress published a photo of her in Tokyo, saying «Tokyo in Tokyo», referring to the name of her character in the ‘Money Heist’. She’s seen in the photo using a very discreet mask along with other people who were also using one for greater caution.
5. Bella Hadid
During fashion weeks, several celebrities and famous models have also been seen protecting their airways. At least that’s what Bella Hadid did when she traveled from Milan after finishing her work in the Italian fashion week with firms such as Versace, Moschino and Fendi.
