Use of Mask in English passage

What do the masks do?
Masks, or facial coverings, are mainly to prevent the person wearing the mask from generating droplets from breathing, coughing, sneezing, etc. It is these droplets that can carry a virus from one person to another.
If you are sick it is recommended to stay home and not go to public places even with a mask or facial covering on. Surgical or hospital grade masks also provide protection from acquiring the virus from others and are combined with face shields for further droplet as well as eye protection. These types of personal protective equipment are used by medical personnel and first responders to protect them while they do their jobs.
Even if someone does not appear sick, they could be infected with the virus. That person could then spread the virus before being sick, so a universal approach to everyone wearing a mask is important.
Medical masks are surgical or procedure masks that are flat or pleated (some are like cups); they are affixed to the head with strapsa. Wearing a medical mask is one of the prevention measures to limit spread of certain respiratory diseases, including 2019- nCoV, in affected areas.

Wearing a medical mask is one of the prevention measures to limit spread of certain respiratory diseases, including 2019- nCoV, in affected areas. However, the use of a mask alone is insufficient to provide the adequate level of protection and other equally relevant measures should be adopted. If masks are to be used, this measure must be combined with hand hygiene and other IPC measures to prevent the human-to- human transmission of 2019-nCov.
