Face coverings, such as MASKS, are items of clothing or accessories that are worn over the face to protect against airborne particles and other potential contaminants. They are commonly used in medical settings, but have become increasingly popular in recent months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. MASKS are the most common type of face covering, and are typically made of cloth or other breathable material. Other types of face coverings include bandanas, scarves, and face shields.
