What type of mask should we use for prevention against Corona? For both adult and 6 yr old child

Answered by Dr. Vaishalee Punj (30 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Any mask

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Any disposable face mask can be used to protect against this virus. However N10 or N95 facemasks have a better fit and are also protective against small droplets in air. N10 or N95 are generally recommended for healthcare professionals dealing with known or suspected coronavirus patient.
Face masks are protective to user in crowdy areas or around people who have cough.
