Can We Stop Wearing Masks If We Practise Social Distancing?

Wearing a mask is one of the most important tools to prevent the spread of COVID-19. When we talk loudly, when we cough and sneeze, what happens is that respiratory droplets actually spread far and wide and respiratory droplets are actually the main mode of spread for COVID-19.

The larger droplets actually can spread for about half a metre before they drop to the ground. But very fine droplets and these droplets are so small that they’re invisible to the naked eye and can travel between 1 to 2 metres and might linger around in the air for up to a minute.

We put on a mask to prevent ourselves from getting infected by these droplets and also to prevent us from spreading disease to other people. Wearing a mask is compulsory and mandatory when you leave the house and when you’re in a public place. And by wearing a mask you have to wear it correctly which covers your nose and mouth. Don’t be a ‘Covidiot’!
