The simple premise of a face mask is that it won’t stop someone getting sick but it does restrict the spread of Covid-19 particularly with so many people being asymptomatic i.e. they don’t know that they have the virus or, are spreading infection before any symptoms have become apparent.  Safety masks alone won’t prevent a second wave of infection but will work alongside other measures including social distancing to help minimise pockets of disease particularly heading into the colder winter months.

Why do face masks help in the fight against Covid-19?

A safety mask can reduce the spread of infection between people in close proximity, for example, if they are speaking, coughing or sneezing. Bacteria an also be spread by touching the face, the area around their mouth and nose, and then by placing the hands on other surfaces; safety masks will help reduce this transmission of infection.  Face masks are most effective when people are grouped together in areas where it is difficult to practice social distancing, for example, in a busy supermarket or on public transport.
