N95 masks have been a point of contention through the pandemic, as officials initially urged the public not to use them so that they could be reserved for health care professions. On Jan. 14, the CDCto now clarify that"people can choose respirators" such as N95 masks and remove any lingering concerns related to supply shortages of this type of mask. Health experts have been advocating for stronger masks for quite some time.
According to the CDC, N95 masks"provide the highest level of protection" from COVID by filtering at least 95 percent of virus particles in the air when worn consistently and properly. They also keep your respiratory droplets and particles from infecting others more effectively than other masks can. "A respirator has better filtration, and if worn properly the whole time it is in use, can provide a higher level of protection than a cloth or procedural mask," the CDC states on its website."To protect yourself and others from COVID-19, CDC continues to recommend that you wear the most protective mask you can that fits well and that you will wear consistently."A N95 mask might not be the best choice for you, however.
And they might not be right for every situation, as they can be uncomfortable to wear for longer periods of time."You still may want to have it to run into a crowded grocery store, but maybe not for longer use," Russo said. The CDC says it's more important to wear whatever is most comfortable and suitable for you—even if that does not end up being an N95."Some masks and respirators offer higher levels of protection than others, and some may be harder to tolerate or wear consistently than others. It is most important to wear a well-fitted mask or respirator correctly that is comfortable for you and that provides good protection," the agency states.
