Remember that you will also have to replace this several times a day depending on your level of exposure or where you heading. Disposable facial masks would prove to be handy, but for non-high risk travellers or if you are not heading to a hospital anytime within your travel, washabale or reusable facial masks ought to do the trick.
Bring Extra Face Shields ~ this is also a non-negotiable these days and there are even some establishments who will not let you in if you are not wearing one. For additional protection against the virus, best to pack up a few face shields for your travel.
