With the 2020 outbreak of the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak, a preventative measure to take is to use a face mask. A normal face mask or dust mask will not protect you according to Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Instead the best face masks mentioned in this post will help to prevent the spread of the deadly virus Covid-19.
While a face mask will not fully protect you, it can give you a level of protection against the virus. At the time of writing there is a short supply of protective masks worldwide. If you purchase a mask, do use them appropriately.
Can I wear a mask while travelling?
While it is normal in Asia to see people wearing masks while travelling on trains, buses or planes, it may not be so common the the United States or Europe.
The TSA allows the use of medical masks on planes. You will however have to remove them for identification purposes such as checking in, boarding at the gate and going through immigration checks.
