Here's how wearing a mask can protect you (and others) against Covid's delta variant:
regardless of vaccination status, including New Orleans, Washington, D.C. and Atlanta. Getting vaccinated is the most important way to prevent Covid-19, but masks also play a key role. The CDC recommended that fully vaccinated peoplelast week after the agency confirmed an increasing number of rare breakthrough cases due to the Delta variant in people who had already received the vaccine.
Over 400 Covid-19 cases were reported in Barnstable County, MA after several large public events, with 346 of those cases were in fully vaccinated persons. Being vaccinated still greatly reduces the chance of hospitalization or death from Covid-19, but masks are another key tool to help prevent the spread of the Delta variant, which is nearly twice as contagious.
The CDC’s changing mask guidance has been confusing for many people. “A lot of the public is getting tired of trying to parse the messaging. And we do need to be clear and probably relatively simple about it,” says Ezekiel Emanuel, a physician and professor at UPenn and advisor to President Biden on the Covid-19 response.
“They should be tightly fitting and should cover your nose and mouth,” says Adalja. Doing so keeps infected aerosols from getting in or out of the mask. He also recommends, for the best results, it would be best to look for a mask that has a nose wire to improve the way it fits towards the top of the mask - keeping air from exiting and entering the mask.
