Public face masks are loose-fitting, single-use coverings worn over the nose and mouth to facilitate normal breathing. They act as a barrier to help protect the wearer from contact with large particles, such as airborne debris or bodily fluids, in the surrounding environment.
These devices are constructed from porous paper or fabric materials and are typically held in place with ties or elastic straps. They are designed for one-time use and may feature a flexible nosepiece to improve the fit against the wearer's face.
