| Respiratory viruses and face masks : In places where respiratory viruses are spreading, wearing a face mask in public helps protect other people from possible infection with viruses such as COVID-19 or the flu. Other people who wear masks help protect you from infection. Wearing a face mask may also protect you from infection. Wearing face masks helps reduce the spray of respiratory droplets from the nose and mouth. Using face masks in public settings helps reduce the spread of respiratory viruses. | |
