Well-fitting masks provide protection
Along with getting vaccinated and boosted, the DuPage Health Coalition says wearing a well-fitting mask helps protect you and others from COVID-19. Learn about the different types of masks and how to make sure you’re getting the best protection. High filtration masks like N95 and KN95 offer the most protection, according to health experts.
