Well, mask early may not have been the best choice of words then. Taiwan's reaction would qualify as early. And Taiwan is the thing that the WHO has been very conspicuously be silent about even when asked explicitly.

I agree. They did not advise to mask early on (airborne transmission was still largely unproved around May, if I remember correctly).

In my mind it was ‘mask before the apparition of symptoms’, and I realise that my wording was not ideal in the context.
