Wearing face masks, along with frequent hand washing and social distancing, is your best bet against contracting Covid-19. We give you the lowdown on the best face masks available in Singapore, their costs and where you can buy them.
Wearing a face mask not only protects you from others, but also protects others from you.
It acts as a barrier against respiratory droplets, be it your own cough (inside of your mask) or someone else’s (that hits the outside of your mask).
Besides, respiratory droplets aren’t expelled solely by coughing and sneezing they can also be spread by talking, singing or laughing. That’s why the Singapore government limited group sizes to five people and made it mandatory to wear a mask when in public.
