N95 masks are performance-tested, respiratory masks used to filter out around 95% of airborne particulates. They are more effective than cloth masks at protecting yourself and others from COVID-19. KN95 face masks are a Chinese equivalent of N95 masks and are more readily available in Australia.
While an N95 mask will not make you immune to the virus, it can stop particles that are released when someone coughs or sneezes from reaching your nose or mouth. They also lessen the chances of you infecting others in the event that you have contracted the virus without realising it.

Frequently asked questions about N95, KN95 and P2 face masks
Face masks are mandatory in many parts of Australia during COVID lockdowns, particularly in indoor, non residential settings. Not wearing a mask without a reasonable excuse could result in a fine.
N95 face masks can cost anywhere from $15-$20 to upwards of $150. If you're buying for the whole family, you can save money by purchasing multi-packs in one purchase.
N95 masks are designed for optimum blocking of particles and protection with a seal around the nose and mouth. They block at least 95% of very small (0.3 micron) airborne particles. Surgical masks are loose fitting. They are designed to protect against large-particle droplets, splashes and sprays.
No. Even if it is your partner or child and you live in the same household, sharing the same N95 face mask isn't advisable. You can easily assign a specific face mask to each family member by buying different colours. You can check out where to bulk buy N95 masks in the list above if you're in need of multiple masks.
While an N95 face mask will not make you immune to COVID-19, it can stop particles that are released when you cough or sneeze from travelling too far in the air. Face masks also serve as a reminder to stop touching your face, which the World Health Organization has said is important in preventing the transfer of the virus from surfaces to your nose, eyes or mouth.
Masks are most effective when used in combination with frequent hand washing or use of an alcohol-based hand sanitiser. You can find out more information on when and how to use masks here on the World Health Organization's site.

Important information about this website
findershopping.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
