A member asked:
Can spit (no hawk spit) pass through a cloth mask if a person accidentally spits while talking to you without wearing their mask?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Studies indicate that face masks may not always offer complete protection to a susceptible person from a viral infection in a close face-to-face or frontal human interaction between 2 people. Therefore, there must be consideration to minimizing or avoiding such interactions. However, overall people wearing face masks are better protected from viral spread from Covid-19 & other infectious agents.
