Do face masks protect against covid-19? which face masks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CPVOD 19: N-95 respirators provide protection. Surgical masks and face masks/ face covering made from cloth primarily prevent you from spreading germs to other but may still help. When using cloth mask - consider tightly woven cotton with 2 to 3 layers & a pocket for filter placement.
