A former Food and Drug Administration official has advice for people as the delta variant of COVID-19 continues to spread: Mask up.

Speaking on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Scott Gottlieb said the delta variant isn’t more airborne than the original COVID virus and is “not more likely to be permeable to a mask.”.

I think, though, if you’re going to consider wearing a mask, the quality of the mask does matter,” Gottlieb said.

“So if you can get your hands on a KN95 mask or an N95 mask, that’s going to afford you a lot more protection.”.

“So I would encourage people to look at the quality of the mask and try and get their hands on a better quality of mask,” he said.

In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that if someone asks you to pay for access to a COVID vaccine, it’s a scam?
