A member asked:
Can you be exposed and infected with covad when even you are wearing a mask?

Yes: The mask is most effective at preventing infected people from spreading virus to other people. This is why it is so important to maintain at least 6 feet of distance (or more) between people.

Mask and COVID-19: Although a mask reduces your risk of COVID-19, it is still possible to become infected. Social distancing or self-isolation will greatly decrease your chance of getting infected. Vitamin C, vitamin D and n-acetylcysteine might also be protective.
