The Department of Health (DOH) on Friday urged the public to double mask to maximize filtration and prevent the transmission and further mutation of COVID-19.

“Hinihikayat po natin ang lahat ng ating kababayan na mag double mask upang ma-maximize ang filtration at ang protection,” Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said at the Palace briefing.

Though the Health Department highly recommends N95 or KN95 masks for maximum protection against COVID-19, Vergeire also called on the public to reserve these for healthcare workers.
