Cloth Masks Not As Effective Against Omnicron

The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that a single-layer cloth mask might not be enough to keep you from contracting the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. Cloth masks are helpful against larger droplets of bodily fluid that can carry COVID-19 into your respiratory system and are more comfortable. However, they do not protect against the smaller airborne, aerosol-like particles with the Omicron.
