    A face mask reduces the propagation of COVID-19 by preventing the inhalation and spread of contaminated droplets from infected individuals. For non-infected wearers, masks prevent inhalation of infected droplets and touching the face with contaminated hands, while for infected wearers, masks capture their infectious droplets and prevent contaminating surfaces by touching their face. The WHO recommends community face mask use to reduce COVID-19 spread by containing infectious respiratory droplets.
