Another item that consumers are stocking up on unnecessarily is N95 surgical masks. While it’s important to wear a mask, it’s not necessarily to purchase this level of protection for everyday use. In fact, the CDC is recommending that consumers not purchase these masks, so that healthcare workers on the front lines fighting the Coronavirus have them available.

Skip stocking up on N95 surgical masks and opt for cloth masks with full coverage, that can be washed and reused.
