Joshrichards7788 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Hi guys! Just wanted to know your opinion about medicine masks. Do they actually prevent infection of covid19? Does it make any sense to wear them? Edited December 2, 2020 by Joshrichards7788 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Simply put, yes. The biggest benefit is that it limits spread of droplets, so if you or someone else is infected unknowingly but wear a mask, it is much less likely that you infect someone. Whether it protects you depends on the type of the mask and how safely you handle it. For protection, keeping distance and washing hands seem to protect more reliably.

Joshrichards7788 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 What about wearing it in Metro? Or in any public transport If I already had covid a month ago, do I need to wear it I believe it doesn`t protect you for 100 percent anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 It does not provide 100% protection nor is it supposed to. But it decreases likelihood of transmitting diseases. It is pretty much the absolute minimum you could do to keep others safer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
