Importance of Wearing Masks during COVID-19

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, it was not easy to convince people to use a face mask to

prevent respiratory diseases. This is because there was not enough data that supported their use

and effectiveness. During the pandemic strike, most studies were done, and the scientific

evidence of the importance of using the face mask increased. From the given information, it is

now clear that wearing a face mask is an effective non-pharmacologic measure that reduces the

chance of one contracting and spreading the virus. Wearing a face mask is essential because it

prevents the spread of the virus from the source person and protects the one wearing it from

being exposed to the deadly virus.

According to Brooks and Butler (2021), the COVID-19 virus spreads through respiratory

droplets breathed out when an infected person talks, sneezes, sings or even coughs. The droplets

are very tinny and small that the naked eyes can see. The amount of these droplets and particles

increases when the rate and force of airflow are high during shouting or doing a vigorous

exercise. Exposure is high when someone is closer to the source of exhalations, especially the

infected one (Brooks & Butler, 2021). The larger droplets can fall on the air randomly, while the

tiny droplets can remain suspended in the air for some time. If the place is poorly ventilated and

there is an infected person present, the concentration of these droplets forms a favorable ground

for transmission of the virus. This is why I strongly emphasize that it is suitable for someone to

have a face mask during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wearing a face mask reduces the transmission of this deadly virus in two different ways.

One, the face mask prevents the infected person from exposing others by blocking the droplets

that contain the virus. According to Johanssonet et al. (2021), wearing a face mask is essential

because it reduces the chances of being transmitted and prevents one from developing the related
