Currently, mask restrictions and other COVID-19 mitigation measures are nonexistent in the United States. But the pandemic is still happening because numbers are still increasing in Northeastern states and Europe (which is an excellent indicator of what will happen in the U.S.).

What You Should Be Looking For

• Authenticity – The highly recommended mask to prevent the virus spreading is N95, which consists of four layers of material: an outer layer of spun-bond polypropylene; a second layer of cellulose/polyester; a third layer of melt-blown polypropylene filter material; an inner (fourth) layer of spun-bound polypropylene

• Fit – The most excellent masks are the ones that fit your face comfortably, and elements that make a cover more comfortable, such as movable ear loops and a flexible nose wire, can also make them more effective at filtering air. This is especially true across age groups for kids of various sizes., the mask should fit snugly, cover your nose and mouth, and hold tightly below your chin to guarantee maximum protection. Potential virus droplets could enter the space through cracks around the edges or escape.

• Comfort – A mask should have some resistance to trap minute airborne particles, but it shouldn’t be too tight to restrict airflow from entering or leaving, usually around the sides. Remember that children will have strong preferences for the masks they want to wear if you buy them. People’s opinions can be affected by various factors, including colors, patterns, the feel of the inside against their face, or the feel of the ear loops on the backs of their ears. That mask is unquestionably the best if they don a high-end one without hesitation for a flight or educational outing.

Many people have lost and are losing their jobs, homes, and lives because of the virus. This means that all cautionary measures we took in 2020 still apply this year. This means wearing a face mask should not stop. It also means that social distancing is still necessary, as is avoiding crowds in general. This means that washing your hands, covering your cough, and quarantining following a positive COVID-19 test all still needs to happen.  

With vaccines still en route for distribution, many are jumping to resume the life they lived pre-covid, one without the risk of potentially claiming a life due to mere exposure to sickness. This is not the way to go! Though it is a new year, expectations remain the same. As much as many of us would like to return to “normalcy,” the world doesn’t possess the means to meet that eagerness just yet. As of now, we should maintain hope and act in accordance with the guidelines set forth by medical professionals to ensure the safety of our friends, family, and ourselves.  

Our Huuman team wishes you a healthy and happy new year! Furthermore, if you need an extra reminder of what needs to be carried out, we pulled this directly from the CDC COVID-19 page: 

How to Protect Yourself When Going Out 

• Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others. 
• Stay 6 feet apart from others who don’t live with you. 

• Avoid crowds. 
• Avoid poorly ventilated indoor spaces. 
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
