With cloth masks, it’s about the layers. You should have at least two layers of cloth. Three is better. Obviously different types of cloth will have different results as well. I’ve seen some people wearing these things and you can see their face through the one layer of material. I count them as not wearing anything… Read more

The worst consequence is when the value is open, stuff also comes in. Read more
