Do you know how and when an N95 mask should be used? Masks are currently only being distributed to health care centres. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tarahaelle/2020/02/29/no-you-do-not-need-face-masks-for-coronavirus-they-might-increase-your-infection-risk/

It sounds mundane, but washing your hands frequently and not touching your face goes a lot further to protect you than wearing a mask.
