How can we help you today?
If you have COVID-19, wearing a surgical mask can help to prevent spreading it to others.
If you are well, you do not need to wear a surgical mask. There is little evidence that widespread use of surgical masks in healthy people prevents transmission in public.
For more information visit the Department of Health’s surgical mask fact sheet or visit the World Health Organisation’s website, which offers advice on when and how to use masks.
