Any mask is better than no mask.
Americans in some cases might want to opt for higher quality masks like KN95 and N95 respirators
"Wearing a highly protective mask or respirator may be most important for certain higher risk situations, or by some people at increased risk for severe disease," the CDC stated.
The updated guidance comes after weeks of health experts urging Americans to upgrade their masks in the face of omicron, warning that cloth masks are not effective enough at stopping the highly transmissible variant from spreading.
But with much of the public reluctant to wear a mask at all, the CDC recommendation stops short of calling on Americans to choose one mask over the other, maintaining that any mask is better than no mask.
N95 and KN95 masks can be costly and harder to fi nd, even as the U.S. government has built up a stockpile of 737 million N95s to ensure first responders don't run out. President Joe Biden said this week he is developing a plan to make the higher quality masks more widely available.
"Next week we'll announce how we're making high-quality masks available to the American people for free," Biden said.
In its earlier guidance, the CDC urged Americans not to purchase surgical N95 masks so as to save them for health care workers.
