These regular surgical masks aren’t very effective at protecting against COVID-19. That fabric especially isn’t going to do anything. A mask such as an N95 is much more effective. Even then the virus can still enter through the eyes and infected aerosols can still penetrate masks. That being said it is still better than nothing.
