How do the different types of masks work?

Medical masks:

Well, the medical and surgical masks are the same. The surgical mask is the most common mask used by all healthcare workers because they are a loose-fitting disposable mask.

• If you accidentally touch your mask with your bare hands, then remember to sanitize your hand.
• When you remove your mask, do not touch the front of the mask, use the ear loops to remove your mask.
• If you have a cloth mask then always wash them after every use, wear a clean mask.
