Masking up has now become more important than ever. And it's not adequate if you wear only a single cloth or surgical mask. As per latest takes by experts, double masking is the need of the hour.

Recently, the US CDC said that double masking is far more effective in preventing coronavirus infection. "The US CDC says double masking could reduced exposure to coronavirus by nearly 95%," an Indian Express report recently said.

There is confusion about what is the most effective form of wearing two masks. Experts are of the view that wearing a surgical mask and a cloth mask is the best thing to do. Ideally, the surgical type should be worn first, followed by using a cloth mask on it. Without compromising on breathing, the masks have to be as tight as possible.

However, if you are using an N95 mask, there is no need to go for double masking.
