The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study last month suggesting that wearing a mask with a cloth over a medical procedure provides more protection against the coronavirus.
During laboratory tests, the CDC simulated a person coughing by producing aerosols from a mouthpiece. The experiment showed that double masking blocked 85.4% of the cough particles, while it was proven to be 95% effective when both parties were double masking.
Regarding the wearing of a single mask, the study showed that a cloth mask alone blocks 51.4% of the cough particles, while a medical procedure blocks 56.1% of the cough particles.
Not all face masks should be low. According to the CDC, the construction of N95 and KN95 masks with other types of masks will restrict airflow and build up carbon dioxide, according to a report by The Seattle Times.
N95 and KN95 masks both filter out at least 95% of particles in the air when worn alone, the report said. The main difference between the two is that KN95 masks are manufactured in China and not tested by The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which is located in the United States.
Here are a variety of options for three-layer face masks for disposable disposable and cotton, which are currently available online.
