With Covid-19 cases rising rapidly across the country, it is becoming more and more essential to adopt the most effective safety practices to avoid getting infected. When a person wears one mask on top of another, it is termed as ‘double-masking’. The outer mask can apply gentle pressure to the edges of the inner mask and create a better seal. Since the virus is spread through respiratory droplets, two layers can help to increase filtration and provide protection if someone around you sneezes or coughs.
