    Masks Work! Here's the Proof

    Masks keep us safe from others and keep others safe from us!

    PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

    On November 10, 2020 The CDC published a scientific brief reviewing the effectiveness of masks both for the wearer of the mask and those around them. Up until now we have been led to believe the mask wearing is protecting others; specifically, if the wearer is an asymptomatic carrier of COVID-19. This brief shows us what we have been hoping for. Based on case studies from the US and around the world; mask wearing can help to protect and prevent the wearer from contracting COVID-19. Masks help reduce the inhalation of virus laden droplets.

    We know that most people are taking COVID-19 seriously; but there are folks out there that need to see the data, the studies, and the proof of what we are doing can help. Thankfully we have heard of members who are doing a great job following the guidelines and unfortunately, we are also hearing of those that are not; but we can always do more and do better.

    Take a few moments and read the this scientific brief from the CDC and hopefully it will give you a better understanding of why masks are so important.

    Looking to purchase masks before the next big wave? NHADA Products has a handful of options for you! Check out our disposable masks, N95 Respirators or order custom reusable masks with your logo!

    As always NHADA is here to assist you through this difficult time. Please reach out if we can help you with issues that arise due to COVID-19 and we will do our best to answer your questions and offer additional resources
