At the early stages of the Covid-19 breakout, the question was to wear a face mask or not. Now, at this stage, it’s pretty safe to say that face masks are A MUST.
And the question of whether using a fabric face mask is as effective as using the medical or surgical ones naturally evolved as well. After a little research, we came to the conclusion that fabric face masks are indeed useful in limiting the spreading of the virus and more readily available for the non-health workers.
HOWEVER, this is completely up to you to decide whether you want to invest in a reusable face mask or a disposable one. On that note, here are some brands you might want to check out if you go with the first option!
