New COVID-19 guidelines recommendations for disposable masks and double masking by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were updated earlier this year. These recommendations were made even as Canadian authorities and many nations all over the world had started vaccinating their citizens against this virus. The main reason why the CDC updated these guidelines is because even as vaccination campaigns are ongoing, they still determined that wearing masks in public spaces will still be necessary for the foreseeable future. And with the changing nature of the virus, people should maximize their protection by upgrading their mask collection.
One of the recommendations the CDC made is for people to wear double masks. This recommendation was made for the wearer to establish a close fit to the face when wearing the mask, something that disposable face mask in Canada can do. All you are required to do is to simply manipulate it’s ear loops to make the whole mask fit more firmly. There are a couple of looping hacks out there that can help you achieve this. We advise that you find the one that feels comfortable to your ear lobes and works for you.
Importance of Wearing Fitting Disposable Face Masks Canada, we all now know that COVID-19 is spread via airborne particles and respiratory droplets from infected individuals. However, research from the CDC suggests that wearing a disposable medical mask (surgical mask) that fits tightly can dramatically help to reduce the spread of this novel virus. On top of that, wearing tight-fitting disposable surgical masks will not only reduce your risk of contracting the virus, but it will also reduce the transmission rate by up to 96% if everyone around you wore them. This is if all Canadian citizens wore medical disposable masks and not cloth-based sewn masks as the medical ones offer more protection that the later.
What are the Qualities of a Good Disposable Face Masks Canada? Most disposable masks available to the public do not offer the same level of protection as N95 respirators or those recommended by the new CDC guidelines for COVID-19 masks. If you are looking for a disposable mask that offers that level of protection, go for one with labels that indicates it follows ASTM F2100-20 guidelines. ASTM is a group of industry experts that come up with standards for testing a wide range of products including face protective masks. A disposable mask with this label proves that it has been tasted and proved that it has filter that is efficient enough to allow good flow of breathing air but at the same time offering protection from any foreign or harmful material.
