There are reusable and non-reusable. They are recommended for the general healthy population over six years of age.

For reasons of comfort and hygiene, it is recommended not to wear the surgical mask for more than 4 h. Recommended for symptomatic or asymptomatic positive persons.

- FFP2 and FFP3 masks: The self-filtering mask not only prevents transmission, but also protects the person wearing it from contracting the virus, as it filters the inhaled air, preventing the entry of any contaminating particles. It is recommended not to be worn for more than 8 hours. The difference between Ffp2 and FFp3 is that the former has a filtration efficiency of 92% while the latter has a filtration efficiency of 98%. Recommended for people in contact with the virus or who are vulnerable to it.

- Homemade cloth masks: It depends on the materials used to make them, but these masks are not subject to regulation and have no official certification, so their efficacy is not proven. It is recommended to preferably use a certified mask that has been tested for its efficacy.
