During an appearance on CNN Tuesday, White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said people using cloth masks should consider upgrading to surgical-grade masks as the highly transmissible omicron variant spreads.
"I recommend you get the highest quality mask that you can tolerate and that's available to you," Fauci said to CNN's Anderson Cooper.
"Right now, there doesn't seem to be any shortage of the masks that were some time ago were not available," Fauci said."If you can tolerate an N95, do it. If you want to get a KN95, fine." Fauci added Tuesday that while cloth masks don't offer as much protection as surgical-grade masks, they still limit the spread of COVID-19.
