Surgical mask covers the user’s nose and mouth and provides a physical barrier to fluids
Face masks often feature ear loops and are the general standard for both surgical and procedural applications. They’re meant for low-risk situations where there will be no fluid, spray, or aerosol.
Face masks provide a barrier against light or moderate aerosol, fluid, and spray.
Face masks are for heavy possible exposure to aerosol, fluid and spray.
