    Three main types of face masks are discussed: 1) Homemade cloth face masks which are recommended for public settings and should not be used by young children or those unable to remove them. 2) Surgical masks which protect against sprays and splashes but critical supplies should be reserved for healthcare workers. 3) N95 respirators which protect against smaller droplets but require fit testing and are in limited supply so should be reserved for healthcare settings. Other prevention methods like hand washing and social distancing are also emphasized.

    MEDICAL AND OTHER AREAS
    THREE PRIMARY TYPES OF FACE
    MASKS

    Homemade Cloth Face Mask


    Surgical Mask
    N95 Respirator
    HOMEMADE CLOTH FACE MASKS

    • Recommendations include:
    • Wear cloth face masks in public settings, especially in areas of significant
    community-based transmission, such as grocery stores and pharmacies.
    • Don’t put cloth face masks on children under the age of 2, people who have
    trouble breathing, people who are unconscious, or people who are unable to
    remove the mask on their own.
    • Use cloth face masks rather than surgical masks or N95 respirators, as these
    critical supplies must be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical
    first responders.
    • Healthcare professionals should exercise extreme caution when using
    homemade face masks. These masks should preferably be used in
    combination with a face shield that covers the entire front and sides of the
    face and extends to the chin or below.
    SURGICAL MASKS

    • Surgical masks are disposable, loose-fitting face masks


    that cover your nose, mouth, and chin.
    • They’re typically used to:
     protect the wearer from sprays, splashes, and large-
    particle droplets
     prevent the spread of potentially infectious respiratory
    secretions from the wearer to others
     Surgical masks can vary in design, but the mask itself
    is often flat and rectangular in shape with pleats or
    folds. The top of the mask contains a metal strip that
    can be formed to your nose.
     Elastic bands or long, straight ties help hold a surgical
    mask in place while you’re wearing it. These can either
    be looped behind your ears or tied behind your head.
    N95 RESPIRATORS
    • N95 respirators can protect against smaller respiratory droplets,
    • such as those containing SARS-CoV-2.
    • However, the CDC currently doesn’t recommendTrusted Source their use outside of
    healthcare settings.
    • There are a variety of reasons for this, including:
     N95 respirators should be fit-tested in order to be used appropriately.
    • A poor seal can lead to leakage, lowering the respirator’s effectiveness.

     Due to their tight fit, N95 respirators can become uncomfortable and
    • stuffy, making them difficult to wear for extended periods of time.

     Our worldwide supply of N95 respirators is limited, making it critical that


    • healthcare workers and first responders have ready access to them.
    OTHER EFFECTIVE WAYS TO PREVENT
    COVID-19

    • Remember that there are other effective ways besides using face
    masks to prevent becoming ill with COVID-19. 
    • These include:
    • Cleaning your hands frequently. Use soap and water or an alcohol-
    based hand sanitizer.
    • Practicing social distancing. Avoid contact with people who are sick,
    and stay at home if there are many COVID-19 cases in your
    community.
    • Being conscious of your face. Only touch your face or mouth with
    clean hands.
