COVID-19 N95 Masks

Hi,

Anyone know where I can get a N95 mask from? I'd like to be prepared in case this thing spirals. Can't find any anywhere 😫 at least not from sites I trust. Any ideas?

B&q? Pharmacy? I ordered a box of 10 on Amazon, they’re shipping in March and was limited to 1 box.

Nope.. haven't got them.. I don't think we necessarily need them right now but I'd be much less stressed knowing we have them if this gets out of control Hmm

Hi

Have a look online at Toolstation or Screwfix.

Gloves and hand washing are much more important than masks.
Masks are only helpful if worn by people who are coughing/sneezing.

I did get some masks on amazon, but that was a few weeks ago and I got them to protect myself from traffic fumes. I think a friend got masks on Wowcher, but I haven't looked.

Every expert I've seen in the tele has said a face mask will do nothing as the virus is so small
It will pass through it.

The link is the current advice to HCPs.

I have bought some P3 masks from screwfix as we are heading to Singapore in a few weeks.

Thanks ladies, will have a look. They have said the only masks worth their while are ffp2 or ffp3 (same as N95 or N99)
