Putting on a mask is the best safeguard against Covid-19, no matter what kind of face covering it is.
“The N95 or three-ply surgical masks are the best but a cloth mask is also adequate to reduce the risk of infection,” he told theSun yesterday. Medical practitioner Dr Farah Hanani Mohd Noor said it would be pointless to wear a mask if it is not worn properly. Siti Aqilah Abdul Khair, who is studying for a PhD in Molecular Biology at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan, said wearing the right mask is essential to prevent inhaling respiratory droplets, while still enabling the wearer to breathe comfortably.
“Multi-layer cotton masks can also be reused, but it should be washed and dried immediately after use. The three-ply surgical mask is not reusable. Discard them after use or every time you take them off.”
