Original Note:
Illnesses like COVID-19 are airborne, which can spread further than a metre away and linger indoors for hours even after the infected patient has left the room. The best way to protect yourself is by using an N95 respirator (and not a surgical mask) when in public. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00869-2/fulltext https://www.ama-assn.org/delivering-care/public-health/what-doctors-wish-patients-knew-about-wearing-n95-masks
