The information included in this article was current as of publication, however, information changes rapidly regarding Covid-19 and may be out of date.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

To help prevent more people from getting COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, <\/span>the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now recommending that everyone in the US wear simple cloth masks<\/span><\/a> when they\u2019re out in public.<\/span><\/p>\n

Health officials were hesitant to advise masks for all, for a few reasons. They didn\u2019t want the general public to deplete the already low supply of protective personal equipment, or PPE, needed for healthcare workers and first responders. Also, based on previous research, it wasn\u2019t clear that just-in-case mask usage was all that beneficial. Finally, the CDC didn\u2019t want people to derive a false sense of security from masks and ease up on social distancing as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent coronavirus research, however, strengthened the case for masks, as <\/span>studies<\/span><\/a> indicate that a substantial portion of people with COVID-19 don\u2019t have symptoms<\/a> \u2014 and might be spreading the virus unknowingly. What\u2019s more, experts now know that people who do go on to develop symptoms can transmit the virus before their symptoms show up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Masks reduce transmission by preventing sick people from infecting healthy ones, as the virus is primarily spread via respiratory droplets that are released when someone coughs, sneezes, talks or even breathes. The CDC\u2019s updated guidelines say that people should wear masks in public places where proper social distancing can be difficult, such as grocery stores and pharmacies. Following this guidance is especially important for those in areas with high rates of community spread.<\/p>\n

But masks aren\u2019t effective unless they\u2019re used properly, which isn\u2019t a given, according to infectious disease experts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s the thing with all masks \u2014 if they\u2019re worn incorrectly, they can be more dangerous than not having one,\u201d says Kelley M. Boston, a Houston-based expert on infection prevention and control. That\u2019s because wearing a mask incorrectly puts you at risk of self-contamination.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are answers to six key questions about masks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What type of mask should I get?<\/h2>\n

For the general public \u2014 meaning people not directly caring for COVID-19 patients, like healthcare workers and first responders \u2014 a basic cloth mask will suffice. N95 respirator masks and surgical masks should be reserved for healthcare workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cotton fabric is a good choice. The mask should consist of two layers of material, not one, to keep respiratory droplets from spreading, says Dr. Sharmila Anandasabapathy, a professor of medicine and director at Baylor Global Health. \u201cYou don\u2019t need more than that,\u201d she says, \u201cit will be uncomfortable.\u201d The mask needs to completely cover both your nose and your mouth, extending down to your chin.<\/span><\/p>\n

What if I can\u2019t find any masks to buy? Or nothing that will arrive soon?<\/h2>\n

A lot of people are making their own masks at home using household items like pillowcases or towels. As long as the mask is thick enough to potentially capture droplets, but thin enough so you can still breathe, that should be fine, <\/span>Anandasabapathy says. The CDC has come out with <\/span>a no-sew mask pattern<\/span><\/a> using a coffee filter and a bandana, and created a video on <\/span>how to make a mask at home with rubber bands and folded fabrics<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the safest way to put on a mask?<\/h2>\n

First, wash your hands with soap and water. If the mask has ties, secure both ties behind your head, tight enough so that you can\u2019t slip a finger underneath the mask. If the mask has elastic bands, loop the bands over your ears. Adjust the mask as needed, so that it\u2019s comfortable but secure. Take your time with this. Once you\u2019re out in public with your mask on, don\u2019t touch it again until you\u2019re ready to take it off. \u201cBe aware masks can be really uncomfortable,\u201d Boston says. \u201cThey can be hard to breathe in, they fog your glasses. Prepare for that. Practice settling in for the discomfort.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

What about taking it off?<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re ready to remove your mask, wash your hands first, then remove it by the ties or elastic band. Don\u2019t touch the fabric part of the mask. Wash your hands again after your mask is off. Boston recommends practicing safely removing your mask. \u201cThat\u2019s the most dangerous time,\u201d she says, \u201cwhen you\u2019re most likely to contaminate yourself or your surroundings.\u201d Cover the outside of your mask with shaving cream, then try to remove it. See where you got shaving cream. Keep working at it until you can do it without getting shaving cream anywhere you don\u2019t intend to.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I clean my mask?<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re using a surgical mask you already had, it\u2019s disposable, and intended to be one-use only. You can\u2019t put it in the wash. For a cloth mask, once you\u2019ve removed it, put it in a bag to clean later. You can use a plastic baggie or a reusable, waterproof wet bag. Write \u201cdirty\u201d on the outside of the bag so you don\u2019t mistakenly reuse it. Consider anything the mask touches to be contaminated. Anandasabapathy says to machine wash your cloth mask regularly. Using any standard detergent, wash it in hot water and dry it on hot, adds Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n

If I wear a mask, does that mean I don\u2019t have to social distance anymore?<\/h2>\n

No, a mask does not replace social distancing. \u201cA mask is a secondary level of precaution, it\u2019s not foolproof,\u201d says Anandasabapathy. The most effective way to help prevent further spread of COVID-19 is still to physically separate yourself from other people. Don\u2019t put on a mask and have a party, she says. Instead, use a mask when you\u2019re going somewhere where you might not be able to maintain a 6-foot personal bubble, like the grocery store, the pharmacy, or even your local running trail. \u201cIf I know I\u2019m going to have density of other people, then I would wear the mask,\u201d Anandasabapathy says.<\/span><\/p>\n
