Non-Medical Grade Masks

Non-Medical Masks 

Non-medical grade masks can broadly be classified into two categories: cloth masks and disposable face masks. Reusable cotton face masks can be worn multiple times and are easy to wash, which makes them great for everyday use. Also, cotton face masks feature a filter pockets so wearers can add filters for improved bacterial filtration efficiency. 

Disposable masks are designed to be a cheap, single-use product that effectively blocks droplets and particles to prevent the transmission of viruses. Erloop Face Mask, 3-PLY, Box of 50

See-Through Reusable Masks 

Reusable see-through masks have become increasingly popular, as more people look for ways to protect themselves and others from the spread of illness without hindering their ability to communicate. 

These face coverings offer a number of benefits over traditional cloth masks, including improved visibility and breathability. See-through masks also allow the wearer to communicate more easily with others, as it is possible to see facial expressions and lip movements, just like with face shields. Additionally, these masks can be worn for extended periods of time without causing irritation or discomfort. When properly cared for, reusable see-through masks can last for many months, making them a more sustainable option than disposable masks. 

Cloth Masks 

Cloth masks can be reused multiple times after being washed, which makes them more environmentally friendly than disposable masks. They are also typically more expensive than disposable masks and must be washed. 

Disposable Masks

Disposable masks, with elastic ear loops and nose wire, are more convenient because they do not need to be washed and can be thrown away after use. In addition, disposable masks with at least two layers (preferably three layers) of material provide good protection against viruses and bacteria. Ultimately, the decision of which type of mask to use depends on the individual's needs and preferences, but when you buy black face masks and Earloop Face Mask, 3-PLY, Box of 50

The Importance of Non-Medical Face Masks

The use of good masks has been shown to be effective in controlling the spread of respiratory viruses, including COVID-19. In light of this evidence, Health Canada is recommending that people wear masks in indoor public settings, even if they are not required to do so by their municipality or workplace. This is a personal decision, and people should feel free to wear a mask even if it is not required in their community or setting.

There are some situations where masks are especially important. People who are at risk of more severe disease or outcomes from COVID-19, such as older adults or those with underlying medical conditions, should wear a mask when they are around others who are at risk. People who are visiting group living settings, such as long-term care homes, should also wear a mask. In addition, masks should be worn in crowded or poorly ventilated settings, such as public transit or indoor shopping malls.

By wearing a mask, you can help protect yourself and others.
