This is especially important in settings where social distancing can be difficult, like grocery stores, pharmacies, and on subways and buses . According to Dr.
Because there is a shortage, and because they are the ones most at risk, health-care workers like doctors and nurses should be the only group of people wearing N95 masks. That leaves fabric masks and hobby masks, often used for painting or to block out dust, to the rest of us. Segal, who recently conducted a study of the efficacy of different materials used for homemade masks, says that you want thick, tightly woven cotton like the kinds used for quilting or batik.
The best fabric masks to buy online There are tons of tutorials online for making your own mask at home. In a pinch you can do it with a pair of hair ties and a bandana. But if you don’t feel like making your own, don’t worry. A ton of fashion brands have chosen to pivot from manufacturing clothing to manufacturing face masks. And many of them are donating one mask for every one they sell, so buying a few for yourself also helps someone in need.
