Different kinds of face masks

Filter/N95 mask – A protective face mask with a filter, we don’t recommend to buy N95 masks, as those are needed for NHS and other health care workers.

Disposable mask – Effective in blocking splashes and large-particle droplets, but you are not intended to be using it more than once.

Cloth face mask – A mask that is made from multiple layers of fabric is our preferred option. You can make one yourself, buy a nice one, or use a bandana to make it in 2 minutes.
You can wash it and use it many times.

Face Shield Visor Protection Film – Face shield is plastic around the face that can give you another kind of protection.
