The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.

People with chronic respiratory, cardiac, or other medical conditions that make breathing difficult should check with their health care provider before using an N95 respirator because the N95 respirator can make it more difficult for the wearer to breathe.

If you're attending this weekend's Governor's Ball — New York's three-day festival that kicks off this Friday - you'll want to make sure that your packing list includes face masks, which can protect against Covid-19 variants, allergens and dust, but also the smoke from the Canadian wildfires that will likely still be ravaging much of the Northeast through the weekend.

Miller also previously told us that the list of KN95 models the FDA specifically approved in its April 2020 emergency use authorization Bookmarks is one of the best resources to use when sourcing the respirators, even after the FDA stopped updating the list in 2021.
