Wearing face masks

Hi there, you can buy face masks online from reputable shops and from some chemists. Make sure you buy ones which filter out viruses. I always use them if I'm off colour when I visit my mum who is on Rituximab for vasculitis and RA. Mum always wears one when she is on a plane, to help stop catching germs. Hope this helps.

Thank you that info was very helpful, where do you usually purchase your mask from?

Hi there, these are the masks I bought 'N95 FFP2 NR Face Mask For Dust, Particle And Virus Protecton'. I put the above in Google and it came up with quite a few providers. Sorry I haven't got the link.
