No. You cannot wear a loose snood (or 'gaiter'). You must wear a fitted face mask that covers the nose and mouth to provide you with protection against infection. The Chief Health Officer recommends a mask with three layers that fits securely around the face, specifically covering the nose and the mouth.
Which face shields are recommended to prevent the spread of COVID-19?
Choose a face shield that wraps around the sides of your face and extends below your chin or a hooded face shield. This is based on the limited available data that suggest these types of face shields are better at preventing spray of respiratory droplets.
How does wearing masks help to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease?
Wearing masks is a CDC-recommended* approach to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), by reducing the spread of respiratory droplets into the air when a person coughs, sneezes, or talks and by reducing the inhalation of these droplets by the wearer.
