Simply layering up masks won’t help much. For the best fit and appropriate protection, researchers have evaluated that the following factors are essential to effective double masking:

-Knotted masks with the option of ties.

-Using two masks that fit well with each other, and preferably, offer minimal gaps.

-Are both good quality masks

Recent studies done by the CDC observed that different types of double mask layering offer different levels of protection. For example, while an unknotted mask only could offer upto 56.6% prevention against viral particles, a well-knotted and tucked surgical mask over/ beneath the cloth mask offers over 85.4% prevention and protection.
