JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — If you've been out lately, you've likely noticed two kinds of people; those who wear masks and those who don't. What should you do?
Dr. Sunil Joshi, president of the Duval County Medical Society Foundation, said he's fielding many questions on the topic of wearing cloth face masks to protect against COVID-19. He gave the following advice on his Facebook page recently - which is consistent with the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control.
He recommended wearing one.
"It's not because the cloth mask protects you from getting the infection," he said. "What I keep trying to tell people is to act like you yourself have the infection and you're trying to protect other people from getting it," said Joshi, who is also president of the Family Allergy & Consultants.
