Why are masks important ? Masks are important so we can all be safe and healthy !
- Masks protect other people – The primary way the coronavirus spreads is from person to person by respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. Face masks, however, can block these droplets. They act as a barrier to keep virus-containing particles from escaping an infected individual and landing on another person. There’s no question; it’s indisputable that wearing even a cloth face covering cuts down substantially on the amount of virus that’s shared by an individual.
- Masks can protect you, as well – A few studies suggest cloth face masks offer some protection for the wearer, but the protective perks are most obvious when everyone covers the mouth and nose. Think of it as a collective benefit: The more people who block the transmission of the virus with face coverings, the less virus there is circulating in the community. This reduces everyone’s risk for infection.
