The N95 is the most recognizable and effective mask â the name means it can block at least 95% of tiny particles. Itâs designed for single-use, and should be reserved for health care workers who are regularly exposed to infected patients. https://nyti.ms/2VByJXF
Medical masks come in a few varieties and are less effective than the N95. But when worn properly, they can help prevent the spread of the coronavirus by catching droplets when you or others near you cough or sneeze. These masks are meant to be used once. http://nyti.ms/2VByJXF
