WEARING A MASK PROTECTS YOU FROM COVID-19 AND FROM SPREADING COVID-19.

THE N95 MASK IS THE STANDARD OF CARE FOR COVID-19 PROTECTION.
THE N95 FILTERS 95% OF SMALL PARTICLES DOWN TO 0.3 MICRON.

DUE TO THE HIGH LEVEL OF COMMUNITY SPREAD, THE PEOPLE’S PPE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE USE OF DISPOSABLE MASKS THAT OFFER HIGH LEVELS OF PARTICLE FILTRATION.

THE PARTICLE FILTRATION OF CLOTH MASKS IS INADEQUATE.
THEY ARE BETTER AT PREVENTING YOU FROM SPREADING COVID-19 THAN THEY ARE AT PROTECTING YOU FROM IT.

HOWEVER, ANY TYPE OF MASK WEARING IS PROTECTIVE BECAUSE THE MASK BARRIER LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF VIRUS THAT YOU INHALE.

DISPOSABLE SURGICAL MASKS CAN BE EFFECTIVE AT PROTECTING AGAINST COVID-19, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CREATE A FACIAL SEAL.

RESEARCHERS AT FIX THE MASK HAVE DEVELOPED PRODUCTS AND RESOURCES TO MAXIMIZE THE BENEFITS OF SURGICAL MASKS.

TO CREATE A FACIAL SEAL, CHECK OUT THE ESSENTIAL MASK BRACE.
DIY VERSION ALSO AVAILABLE.
