Does a
face mask protect me, or just the people around me? Is the question most people
are concerned about?
Well,
researchers believe that it protects both.
Studies
on the new coronavirus and other germs have found that wearing a mask can stop
infected people from spreading germs. Results show that wearing masks protect
the people wearing them.
When
people cough, sneeze or talk, the virus spreads from droplets. Surgical or
cloth face masks have the potential to block these particles from spreading.
Masks
protect the people wearing them as they reduce the number of droplets from
others that come from other people.
According
to Experts, masks are essential because COVID-19 infected people can spread
germs even if they don’t have symptoms.
