Are they handing out free surgical masks to everyone at all BTS stations these days?

make your own mask.

[wotsdermatter]

The masks that are usually sold at 7/11, drug stores, etc., are not for N95.  For that level of protection something like a Cambridge - either 95 or preferably 100 level masks - is required.  Many people believe the so called surgical masks are satisfactory and will suffice.  They will not as they do not have the correct materials to remove particulates at the 95 and above levels, nor indeed for lower levels, as they tend to be made out of paper.  Surgeons wear masks mainly to prevent sweat, saliva, and mucus (nasal dri(o)ppings) from dropping into where they are performing surgery.  Don't skimp buy the best possible not 100 cheapies

Most people don't contract diseases from the air; they pick them up and bring them to their faces. A paper mask will help keep peoples' hands away from their mouth and nose.

That said, for most Thais, the paper masks will only help them keep their hands away from their chins!

Part of the W.H.O. recommendation is that you only need to wear a mask if you have the symptoms of a respiratory infection. This would be to reduce the likelihood of you coughing your infection over others. The N95 mask will stop 95% of PM2.5 from entering your lungs. PM2.5 refers to particles size of 2.5 microns. The Novel Corona virus is 0.0125 microns or thereabouts. Wearing any sort of mask will make a difference to others around you if you are already infected. As has already been said washing hands frequently is good protection.

You can buy them on Lazada.

[elgenon]

Boots sells N95 but probably sold out. But they have to get them sometime.

 

Just get the surgical at Makro. If you find the N95 mask uncomfortable you may not wear it. The N95 must fit very tightly to be effective. Still, eyes not covered.

[marquis22]

Are they available free at Suvarnabhumi????

I don't like Lazada because they sell many fake products there...for mouthmasks i want real ones from 3M.

[theonetrueaussie]

If you read what the doctors are saying the surgical masks do absolutely nothing to stop corona and the N95 if they ARE the proper ones and you put them on properly you will be able to use them for 30 minutes at a time before you need to take them off as they are incredibly hard to breathe through....If you can breathe easily after 30 minutes using the N95 it is not a proper N95 or you have not fitted it to your face properly and air is coming through the sides of the mask making it ineffective anyways!!

3M N95 and Milwaukee N95 are hard to find in the US (at least in Orange County, CA). "Sold out" right after they put them on shelves. Not available on HomeDepot website either. Chinese are buyers. They send them to China. 
I was lucky and bought all Last 4 boxes (I looked in different HomeDepot locations for a week).

Why do you listen to a clueless minister who doesn't have a clue about masks and who needs them? Didn't you read what WHO said about the masks?

We live in BKK....the air is very polluted around us...we almost can't see the skyscrapers through the smog....we need N95 masks anyway, virus or not!

Mouthmasks? Never heard of any such things. Facemasks are available everywhere, but mouthmasks are rare or nonexistent.
