Face Masks
Face masks are primarily designed to impede the volume and distance of expiratory droplets that are dispersed when a person talks, breathes, coughs, or sneezes. Also, a face mask can filter out expired particles that may include virus or bacterial pathogens to reduce the chance of infection from another person.
The wearing of face masks has increased since the COVID pandemic to where its use is much more than with just medical personnel. A properly worn mask can help reduce the transmission of large-particle respiratory droplets that may contain pathogens from person to person where it can pass through mucus membranes in the mouth and nose.
Medical masks are designed to protect the wearer from contact with large particles by filtering them and thereby offering protection from their transmission.
Cloth masks trap respiratory droplets when the wearer talks, sneezes, or coughs. It also serves as a barrier to protect the wearer from inhaling droplets released by others. To be effective, these masks should be designed with at least two layers to be effective.
