Cold and Flu Masks: Why Wear One? In response to cold and flu concerns of all types, the Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization have advised that wearing a mask is a "first line of defense" and advise that "in a highly contagious environment, wearing any mask is far better than wearing no mask at all". Many Hospitals and Doctors are now requesting that patients (especially with low immune systems) and visitors wear masks. In any type of flu transmission, inhaling germs is but one way to become infected. Contamination may occur simply by touching the corner of your eye, nose or lips with contaminated hands. Therefore, the wearing of any mask is primarily a "first line of defense" and should be combined with frequent hand washing and good hygiene.
