DrAsh- Somewhere between 10-70% depending on quality. The WHO recommends cloth mask with 3 layers and this should provide protection towards the higher end of this range.

As we get back out there again, it’s up to all of us to stay COVID free by doing the 3. And if you’re feeling sick, stay at home and contact a doctor about testing. Together, we can reduce the risk of a second wave.

Agree - we must be able to focus on more than one public health issue at a time.
Racism is a life and death epidemic for Black Aust. Can't condemn BlackLivesMatter rallies: Outdoors, most worn masks, most quiet keeping masks integrity. Collaboration btw authorities & public vital for continued resilience & mental health during COVID.

Mask truth: medical masks for clinicians 98% protection. Cloth mask 10-60% but better than nothing! Wear a mask on public transport. Give mask a soapy wash daily; on/off with clean hands; store in ziplock bag. #Covid19aus #coronavirusAustralia
