N95 is the best but 3 layer surgical mask is sufficient if u r not gonna explore crowded places or closed spaces
Health Tips
Better maintain good hand hygiene and social distancing because mask is not the only solution

Usually a normal Surgical mask will suffice if you are at home or at your residential complex If you are working out side with many people better where N95 If it is not available KN95 will be sufficient A thick layered mask also will protect to a certain extent

N95 mask is better for COVID 19 protection. Any brand which one is FDA approved.

Magnum is also a brand I think FDA approved. Other brands are not yet out of stock .. But none can replace social distancing at all times with any mask atleast while in contact like talking also

N95 is better. It's not reusable mask. Surgical 3ply mask is also good but not recommended to use more than 6hr.
