Choosing a face mask

There are different types of face masks. These include cloth masks with several layers (A), disposable surgical masks (B), and "respirators" such as KN95 and N95 masks (C, D). Experts recommend choosing the most protective mask that fits you well and that you will be able to wear consistently. Whatever mask you choose, make sure it covers both your mouth and nose. It should also fit well with no gaps between the mask and your skin.
