COVID Masks
ACCEPTABLE
The basic disposable mask. Also known as a procedure mask. Designed to stop your drops.
ACCEPTABLE
Home-made, three-layer, and well fitting. Tucks under the chin and covers the nose. Will it stop your drops? Yep.
NOT ACCEPTABLE
Blocks our view of that face, but does not tuck under the chin. Only one layer. Your drops will drop.
ACCEPTABLE
N95 - Not only will it stop your drops, it will protect you from breathing in drops, if worn properly.
NOT
ACCEPTABLE
We like to see your smiling eyes as well as three layers. Drops are not stopped enough.
ACCEPTABLE
Seam down the middle? With two fabric layers and a paper filter in the pocket, it seems fine to us. If the drops stop, it’s tops.
”There is nothing wrong with their masks.”
“So how do non-medical cloth masks fit in? The Canadian public health special advisory committee has closely reviewed evidence from around the world to answer this question. We now know that some people can spread the virus when they have very mild symptoms or may be unaware they are infected.
As Dr Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer has explained, a non-medical cloth mask or face covering can help you keep your own droplets out of the air and off surfaces. Choosing to wear such a face covering is like coughing or sneezing into a tissue or your sleeve.
....
I remind you of the importance of continuing to not touch your face when wearing it. This is often challenging especially for small children, and of course, be cautious when removing the cloth mask. Wash it regularly and do not share it with others.”
