2 masks may be better than 1, CDC study finds – ABC News
Scoop Publisher Francesco Abbruzzino
Fit matters when it comes to your mask protecting you against the virus that causes COVID-19, and layering a well-fitting cloth mask over a surgical mask is likely to prove beneficial, according to new findings to be released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The findings, which will be released by The Journal of the American Medical Association, were not expected to lead to new mask recommendations by the CDC. The public health agency maintains that everyone should wear a face covering when outside their home.
It also doesn’t change the recommendation that primarily medical workers in high-risk environments should rely on N95 masks, which act as a strong filter against any contaminants but is notably tougher to breathe in and withstand for long periods of time.
