Covid-19: Will double masking help us from infection?
Prevention is always better than cure! And no one denies it. Also, it is clearly evident that the face mask helps us a lot in preventing the spread of the deadly coronavirus. While, the second wave of the Covid-19 is creating ripples across the country, experts are recommending the people to go for double masking because they prevent chances of infection against the newer strains of the virus as they are lot more infectious and easily transmissible.
Also, CDC strongly recommends the double masking because layering up an additional layer of mask over the other not just offers strengthened protection but also helps lower infectivity and transmission very effectively.
As per studies, the double masking could lessen down infection chances and cut severity rates by as much as 85-95%.
Another important aspect is to ensure that you layer up a clothe mask over a surgical one for the best measure.
