Do not compromise your family's health and safety by providing them inferior protection! According to the knowledge base of PandemicFlu.gov's "Interim Public Health Guidance for the Use of Face masks and Respirators in Non-Occupational Community Settings during an Influenza Pandemic", face masks and respirators should be used in combination with other preventive measures, such as hand hygiene and social distancing, to help reduce the risk for influenza infection during a pandemic. Key facts from PandemicFlu.gov: · If used correctly, face masks and respirators may help to prevent some exposures while in a crowded setting. · When individuals are ill with respiratory symptoms (e.g., coughing, sneezing) during an influenza pandemic, they should stay at home except when it is critically necessary to leave (e.g., to obtain medical care). Individuals with a respiratory illness should wear a face mask to contain respiratory secretions (e.g., to cover coughs and sneezes) if they are in the presence of others. · Since a face mask worn by a coughing person may reduce the amount of potentially infectious material released into the surrounding area, one strategy for reducing the spread of influenza would be to encourage everyone to wear a facemask while they are together if a group gathering is unavoidable. This might reduce the overall risk to the group by increasing the likelihood that all unanticipated coughs and sneezes would be covered and that respiratory secretions would not be widely spread while people are speaking or breathing. · If a gathering is unavoidable, individuals may consider wearing a facemask or respirator to help prevent exposure to respiratory secretions from symptomatic individuals. · NIOSH-certified N95 and higher filtering face pieces are made of dense material that is certified to filter out very small particles that can be inhaled. To be most effective, these types of respirators should form a tight seal against the wearer’s face. They also will block both small splashes and large droplets. · Both face masks and respirators may be beneficial in discouraging wearers from inadvertently touching their nose or mouth with unwashed hands, which could help prevent virus transmission and infection. · If there is the expectation of close contact with a symptomatic individual, every effort should be made to limit the duration of exposure to the ill individual(s) to as short a period as possible. In such situations, proper use of a well-fitted N95 or higher respirator may be a reasonable choice. · Planning assumptions project that there will likely be shortages of respirators during a sustained pandemic. For example, quantities of N95 or higher respirators may have to be prioritized for use by certain health care workers whose occupational activities place them at increased risk for infection. *DicksArmySurplus.com acts as a third-party distributor and can not be held responsible for the level of protection the products available for purchase on this web site provide.
