Science of Mask Risks

There are several ways doctors say we can protect ourselves from COVID-19, but the loudest and most persistent prescription by far is a mask.
Wearing a mask is supposed to contain a potentially deadly disease. And with no end in sight for the COVID-19 pandemic, health officials want to see more masks on more faces.
