We are living through a time where there may be many conflicting arguments, especially around the efficacy of whether wearing non-surgical masks are beneficial or not.

According to articles by various news outlets and publications (please see below) there seems to be an overarching idea that the use of non-surgical masks is better than nothing.

The CDC (Centers For Disease Control and Prevention) (An American Body) says that Use of Cloth Face Coverings Help Slow the Spread of COVID-19.

Here in the UK, during lockdown we were dealing with a PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) shortage and especially with regards to masks. The general message that we have been hearing is that we (the general public) should not be purchasing medical grade masks because this depletes the supply for healthcare professionals.

Sadiq Khan Mayor of London was instrumental in getting the government to make wearing masks compulsory on public transport. The government is also set to make it compulsory to wear masks in shops.
