Everyone knows that our heroes, our Healthcare Providers, First Responders, and Military personnel are exposed to many viruses, and now COVID-19.  Healthcare Providers, First Responders, and Military personnel who must make contact with individuals confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19 should follow CDC’s Guidelines. Different styles of PPE may be necessary to perform operational duties.

State officials say that even for non-frontline citizens, wearing face masks could help stop asymptomatic spread of coronavirus, but only when combined with the practice of social distancing, hand washing and other best practices to protect from spreading coronavirus.  The tiny particles, the aerosols produced by coughing, sneezing, and talking can travel further, some studies suggest up to 27 feet. Readings on air pollution have taught scientists that particles can not only travel variable distances but can linger in the atmosphere for some time. COVID-19 is not an exception, therefore, to protect themselves in all social settings, it is highly recommended that everyone wears face mask, preferably with 95% or higher filtration in the masks.
