These are the generic blue face coverings that you may see worn by store employees, delivery drivers, and police & fire personnel.
Masks, even cheap ones like these, prevent infected people from spreading the virus, whether they know they are a carrier or not.
It's one reason doctors have traditionally worn generic masks to protect their patients, and why most establishments require masks to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Beware that these masks do not seal around the nose and mouth like many N95 or KN95 masks do.
These masks provide little protection for the mask-wearer catching germs and Covid that are already airborne from infected people nearby who are not wearing a mask.
