Document: In response to the critical shortage of medical masks resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, large portions of the population are mobilizing to produce cloth masks using locally-sourced fabrics. While the general population is being advised to wear masks to protect others from virus that may be spread from the wearer, the efficacy of these masks as a means of protecting the wearer from airborne particles carrying virus is also a concern, particularly as medical masks grow scarce. This issue may become more critical if it becomes necessary for medical care workers to use similar alternative personal protective equipment.
