How to reuse your N95/KN95 masks
https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/how-to-reuse-n95-kn95-and-other-disposable-masks/amp/?fbclid=IwAR0D6MY8ee1d6MJIP3xT4XU9l3xHYJMVdPJG8SYjZ9JsN_cUNyLkd3goVME
How to Reuse N95, KN95, and Other Disposable Masks N95 and other medical-style masks offer the highest protection, but wearing a new one every day can be expensive. Fortunately, you can safely reuse them.
In just a few weeks since its discovery, Omicron has turned out to be highly transmissible and less susceptible to vaccines than other variants.
The recent emergence of this COVID-19 variant further emphasizes the importance of practicing prevention —get your COVID-19 vaccine and booster shot, wear a mask, wash your hands and safely distance to help everyone in our community .

A new CDC study shows that people who were fully vaccinated had more than 10 times lower risk of being hospitalized or dying with COVID-19 compared with people who were not fully vaccinated. COVID-19 vaccines offer strong protection against serious illness and death even with the Delta variant. The best way to protect yourself and those around you is to get vaccinated.
