The Strategy for Reducing the Transmission of Respiratory Disease
Cloth face masks were routinely used by healthcare workers starting from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century. In the 1960s they fell out of use in developed countries in favor of modern surgical masks, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, cloth masks have been revived as a last resort due to shortages of surgical masks and respirators.
To prevent the spread of disease, it is important that individuals take the proper precautions to limit exposure by implementing safety measures to prevent the inhalation of unwanted particulates or infectious pathogens. Respirators, masks and face covers can help capture this objective, that is, if they can be secured for purchase.
Recommended
A cloth face mask is a mask made of common textiles, usually cotton and worn over the mouth and nose. When more effective masks are not available, cloth face masks are recommended by public health agencies for respiratory disease control in epidemic situations to protect others from virus laden droplets transmitted by breath, coughs and sneezes.
As states lift restrictions and work to reopen the economy, a growing number are adopting CDC guidelines regarding the use of face covers as essential infection control to preventing community spread of disease such as the coronavirus.
Cloth face masks can be used to reduce disease transmission arising from the wearer's respiratory droplets, but are not considered personal protective equipment (PPE) for the wearer as they typically have very low filter efficiency and do not pass any respiratory standards. There are no standards or regulation for self-made cloth face masks and should not to be used in place of NIOSH approved products.
