What Masks do you wear?
HiThe ones we are recommended to wear are to stop you spreading the virus.
They are not to protect you from being infected.
How many of you use FFPP2 or FFPP3 masks?
How many of you wear two pairs of gloves when you go out and sanitise them before you wear them or sanitise te second pait before you get back into the car?

Re: What Masks do you wear?
I have many masks, none of which fit me properly & it's cost me a fortune buying them all. I do wear one when in shops. I have now bought face visors which seem better, though I don't think they are long enough. Have yet to wear one in public. I will wear one when we do the charity tree on Monday instead of a mask.

Re: What Masks do you wear?
I have a selection of 3- and 4-ply reusable cotton masks (most with filter pockets) which I re-sanitise after each wash.Regarding visors, I'm not aware that they're particularly effective unless used with a mask:

Visors are not the best option for protecting yourself and others from COVID-19.
Visors may stop some spread of droplets from your nose or mouth. This is better than not wearing any face covering. But visors should only be worn if you have an illness or impairment that makes wearing a face covering difficult.
How to wear a visor
The visor should wrap around the sides of your face (ear to ear) and extend to below the chin. Reusable visors should be cleaned after each use and then stored in a clean place until needed.
You should still wear a mask if you:
- have COVID-19, think you have COVID-19 or are waiting on a test result
- are caring for someone with COVID-19 or who has symptoms of COVID-19
- are self-isolating and you cannot keep 2 metres between you and other people in your household

Re: What Masks do you wear?
Having originally made my own mask , when I realised C19 was here to stay I did some research into best masks including on the 'Which ' site. I ordered one they recommended from Trumask which has a pocket that holds a disposable internal filter lining .The mask has adjustable togs and fits snuggly and although the original linings are no loner available I manage to find some in Boots ...
