Cloth masks are stylish, but many health experts are now recommending that we upgrade our mask choice. Surgical masks (the disposable ones) or N95/KN95 masks, three-ply masks all offer higher degree of protection. You can learn more about masking strategy in this article from NPR.
One note of warning – there are a lot of fake N95/KN95 masks out there, so don’t order the first thing you see on Amazon.
Reputable masks can be found from 3M, Honeywell, Hope Health Supply or Demetech websites, or at Project N95.
