The results are published June 8 in Scientific Reports. June 08, 2021 - 8:00am Andy Fell /news/facemasks-block-expired-particles-despite-leakage Comparing Face Coverings in Controlling Expired Particles /news/comparing-face-coverings-controlling-expired-particles <p>Laboratory tests of surgical and N95 masks by researchers at the University of California, Davis, show that they do cut down the amount of aerosolized particles emitted during breathing, talking and coughing. Tests of homemade cloth face coverings, however, show that the fabric itself releases a large amount of fibers into the air, underscoring the importance of washing them. The work is published today (Sept. 24) in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-72798-7">Scientific Reports</a>.</p> September 24, 2020 - 8:00am Andy Fell /news/comparing-face-coverings-controlling-expired-particles Why Masks? To Protect Your Community /coronavirus/news/why-masks-protect-your-community <p>As COVID-19 stay-at-home restrictions ease and more businesses, bars and restaurants open, health experts and state officials are also seeing more confusion, disdain and even hostility toward wearing masks.</p> <p>California Gov. Gavin Newsom reacted last Thursday (June 18) by issuing an order requiring Californians to wear face coverings in 鈥渉igh-risk鈥 settings that include any indoor public space, lines to enter those spaces and any setting where 6-foot social distancing is not feasible. (Yolo County has mandated face coverings since April 24.)</p> June 23, 2020 - 6:06pm Dave Jones /coronavirus/news/why-masks-protect-your-community
