Masks are ‘strongly suggested’ by health authorities as the winter COVID wave hits. Here’s how effective they are

"Health departments are predicting another COVID surge related, in part, to
more easily transmitted new variants and waning immunity.

Given COVID cases are rising and likely underestimated, Chief Medical Officer
Paul Kelly has strongly suggested people wear masks in indoor spaces.

So it’s important to get across how effective they are and which type to
choose. Is it worth dusting off last year’s cloth masks, using a surgical mask,
or going out to buy some N95 respirators to wear over the coming weeks?"
