Wearing a mouth mask helps reduce the transmission of respiratory viruses, including COVID-19, by preventing respiratory droplets from spreading when a person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Masks also protect the wearer by filtering out potential pathogens and can reduce the severity of illness if infection occurs. Additionally, masks contribute to community health by promoting a collective effort to curb outbreaks and protect vulnerable populations. Overall, they are a simple yet effective tool in public health measures.
