Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, puts his face mask back on after speaking with reporters in the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House, Thursday, Jan. 21, 2021, in Washington. “That’s the reason why you see people either double masking or doing a version of an N95.”Dr. Mohammed Reza, a Jacksonville infectious disease doctor, told News 6 partner News4Jax he believes double masking helps better protect people from COVID-19, as well as the new variant. “The one you got should be taking care of the job.”The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has not recommended double masking, but it does recommend masks with multiple layers of protection. That means everyone over the age of 6 must continue wearing a face mask or face covering while in public indoor spaces, including employees and customers at businesses within city limits. There are, however, exceptions for certain cases such as people dining at a restaurant or a patient visiting the dentist.
