The COVID-19 omicron variant that is currently circulating is highly contagious, and although the CDC says getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent severe illness, hospitalizations and death, you should still mask up. huffpost.com/entry/where-to…
Physician Jen Caudle told HuffPost that she recommends people upgrade their masks due to the high transmission rate of the omicron variant. huffpost.com/entry/where-to… 
You can do so by double masking (the correct way) or by wearing an approved N95 or KN95 mask. KN95 and N95 masks also fit more snugly on your face than cloth or surgical masks, preventing gaps that further expose your mouth and nose to airborne droplets. huffpost.com/entry/where-to…
The main difference between the two is that KN95 masks are held to China’s standard and can be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, while N95 masks are tested rigorously by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. huffpost.com/entry/where-to…
