Like the answers? Consult privately with the doctor of your choice
It depends your activities in lockdown your habits and moving out in type of area red green or orange zone so each type of mask have different percentage protection from covid
However if not in contact with any corona patient then three or four ply cloth is ok. But frequent washing hands avoid touching face
And safe him home is good moreover proper use and fitness of mask over face is important
