      The CDC Says Tight-Fit Masks or Double Masking Increases Protection

      /in , /by

      New research by the agency shows that transmission of the virus can be reduced by up to 96.5 percent if both an infected individual and an uninfected individual wear tightly fitted surgical masks or a cloth-and-surgical-mask combination.

      One option for reducing transmission is to wear a cloth mask over a surgical mask, the agency said. The alternative is to fit the surgical mask more tightly on the face by “knotting and tucking” — that is, knotting the two strands of the ear loops together where they attach to the edge of the mask, then folding and flattening the extra fabric at the mask’s edge and tucking it in for a tighter seal.

      Other effective options that improve the fit include using a mask-fitter — a frame contoured to the face — over a mask, or wearing a sleeve of sheer nylon hosiery material around the neck and pulled up over a cloth or surgical mask, the C.D.C. said.

          As we continue to open up to the economy it is important to also keep ourselves safe. There is a higher expectation now, than ever before, from each one of us to practice COVID Safe behaviours.

          #NITIAayog, in partnership with Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Centre for Social and Behavioural Change (CSBC), have made an effort to provide people with prompts and reminders along with simple, easy to practice ideas of designing their environment in such a manner that practicing these behaviours become easy.
