Protective Face Masks
The difference between medical and non-medical face masks
Medical Face Masks
Medical face masks are for one time use only and Surgical masks are made with a non woven melt blown polypropylene layer and available in various levels of protection. These are single use masks only so can’t be washed and used again.
These are not required but do offer better quality of protection.
Non-Medical Face Masks
Cloth masks are any nose and mouth covering made of washable fabric. The Department of Health recommend be a mask made of three layers. It does not need to be surgical quality to be effective.
