As the number of cases of the novel coronavirus continues to grow, so do face mask sales. But according to Robert Amler, M.D., M.B.A., dean of the School of Health Sciences and Practice, "Paper, surgical-type masks are not designed to protect the wearer, they're designed to protect the people all around you. Instead of buying a face mask, focus on washing your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds."
