Cloth masks or N95, KN95 masks to fight COVID?

Disposable paper and cloth masks, both common choices during the coronavirus pandemic, may not be as effective in preventing the spread of COVID as other types of face coverings, according to some experts.To get more news about famous KN95 mask wholesale, you can visit tnkme.com official website.

Speaking on CBS “Face the Nation,” Sunday, former Food and Drug Administrator director Dr. Scott Gottlieb said the delta COVID variant is not more airborne and is not likely to be more permeable to a mask but the type of mask is important.
“If you’re going to consider wearing a mask, the quality of the mask does matter,” Gottlieb said. “So if you can get your hands on a KN95 mask or an N95 mask, that’s going to afford you a lot more protection.

“There’s plenty of N95 masks in the system. There are also KN95 masks available. So I would encourage people to look at the quality of the mask and try to get their hands on a better quality of masks,” he added.

Early in the pandemic, health officials advised the public against purchasing higher quality masks due to the need for them in medical settings. N95 are masks that “achieve a very close facial fit and very efficient filtration of airborne particles,” according to the Food and Drug Administration. They are regulated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in the US.

KN95 masks fit the same and can provide equal levels of protection but are regulated by the Chinese government.

The delta variant is blamed for more than 93% of all cases in the U.S. The surge in cases and hospitalizations promoted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to backtrack on guidance and recommend that both vaccinated and unvaccinated people wear face masks indoors in areas with high or substantial COVID-19 transmission.
If you are not fully vaccinated and aged 2 or older, you should wear a mask in indoor public places.
In general, you do not need to wear a mask in outdoor settings. People living in areas with high numbers of COVID-19 cases should consider wearing a mask in crowded outdoor settings and for activities with close contact with others who are not fully vaccinated.
People who have a condition or are taking medications that weaken their immune system may not be protected even if they are fully vaccinated.
If you are fully vaccinated (considered to be two weeks after final dose) it’s advised to wear a mask indoors if you are in areas of high transmission.
Masks are required on all planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation in the U.S. and while indoors at transportation hubs such as airports and stations.
