WHICH FACE MASKS ARE THE BEST FOR COMBATING THE FLU:
* It has been recommended that the best face mask to wear is the disposable surgical mask. Why? It is composed of 3 layers that are designed to filter droplets, which is believed to be how the new coronavirus is being transmitted between humans. These masks, as oppose to N95, N99, and N100 masks which are used for medical purposes, are also easier to breathe in for kids and adults. These are also recommended over activated charcoal mask/a paper mask/cotton mask/and pitta masks due to the layering.
