A member asked:
What about cloth masks, like these ones available on amazon? are these a good thing to wear in the pandemic since all the surgical masks and n95s are hard to get?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cloth masks: Cloth masks or face coverings can help prevent spread of infection. In my state, wearing a mask or face covering is required in public by law.
