Query regarding use of N95 mask in non medical industry

[Terri Goldstein]

Hi all

I have a query regarding the use of N95 masks in a non-medical setting i.e. professional services such as banking staff and retails shops etc?

Is there currently any Government directive around use of N95 masks in non-health settings? I am trying to ascertain this info as I understand these are difficult to source? I understand the need for hospitals, aged care etc.

Thanks
Terri

I would think that if an individual wishes to self protect, and can afford
the cost of several N95 masks each day, go for it. Any worker who is
required by their employment to have face to face contact with clients be
they health workers or bank customer service should be supported to use N95
masks offer greater protection than say a surgical mask
