While reusable face masks have become common in the past two years, some medical experts say a reusable cloth mask may not be the best option anymore, especially with the omicron variant.

The Biden administration will begin making 400 million N-95 masks available for free to Americans starting next week.

Aaron Collins, also known as @masknerd on Twitter, explains what you need to know about high-filtration masks like KN95s, KF94s and N95s, which are able to filter out viral particles and can help you stay safe amid the spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

There are different masks on the market: N95’s which are approved by the U.S. Government; KF94, approved by South Korea; and KN95, approved by China. Here are five ways to spot fake U.S. Government approved masks.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its mask guidance, saying that N95 masks offer the highest protection.

Cloth masks are better than no mask – but a properly made surgical mask, N95 or KN95 will protect you and others better, says Dr. Jay Wolfson. The USFHealth professor tells you which masks are best at blocking viral particles.
