How to fit one properly:
Things to be aware of:
  • Facial hair can interfere with the seal of an N95
  • An N95 respirator provides greater protection from COVID-19 than a face covering or mask
  • N95s and more protective respirators protect the users from airborne disease, while face coverings primarily protect people around the user
  • Someone wearing an N95 when exposed to COVID is not considered a Close Contact
  • N95s only work if you wear them properly!
