CDC director defends N95 mask restrictions despite greater supply Alexander Tin © Protective Health Gear screen-shot-2021-01-25-at-11-51-53-am.png The Biden administration is rejecting calls to change current guidelines that discourage the public from wearing N95 respirators, the high-filtration masks currently reserved for health care workers, although some manufacturers say a growing domestic surplus has gone unused. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters Wednesday that the agency still believed standard, well-fitting cloth masks were sufficient to curb the spread of COVID-19. For reasons supported by science, comfort, costs, and practicality, the CDC does not recommend routine use of N95 respirators for protection against COVID-19 by the general public, said Dr. Walensky. She cited abundant research showing masks now available to the general public are working.
