UPDATED: What masks to wear and how to wear them in the current Delta-variant outbreak
We collected our free masks that Temasek Foundation is giving away recently – a box of regular surgical masks and a box of N95 masks.
There were only 25 masks in the N95 box. Apparently it’s not for everyday use, but if we were unlucky to contract Covid 19 and self-tested positive, we should don on the N95 masks to prevent spreading to others. Then we should go see the doctor and wait to be transported to the hospital or whatever other facility the government deems we should go to. So yah, at least we know what to do when that time comes. Hah!
With the delta variant being more transmissible, the current advice out there would be to use disposable surgical masks above BFE >95% to be properly protected every time you go out.
