Does My Cloth Mask Protect Me From Omicron?

You might have recently heard a lot of people talking about face masks, as concerns have been raised that our sustainable cloth masks may not actually be that useful when it comes to protecting ourselves against Covid-19.  But what about other types, like surgical, N95, P20, KN95, KF94 - what's the difference and how do you know which one is best for you and your family? The Quicky speaks to a GP and face mask expert to find out what is really the best product to keep potentially dangerous droplets away from your nose and mouth, or to stop your infection from being transferred to others.
