Will wearing a face mask keep you and your loved ones safe from coronavirus and other infectious diseases? Our doctor NehaPathakMD explains:
With mounting concern about the new coronavirus from China, many people are trying to figure out the best ways of protect themselves and their loved ones from infection. Two big questions many people have are: Will wearing a face mask keep us safe? And if so, what kind?
Face masks can play a role in preventing the infection, but that role is limited in real world situations. There is some evidence that wearing a face mask can protect you from transmitting the virus from your hands to your mouth, probably because you are paying more attention to NOT touching your face when you’re wearing it. You also have some protection from “splash” droplets if an infected person sneezes or coughs around you.
