Valve Mask Like Tom Cruise Appeared to Wear Isn’t Recommended by the CDC

Tom Cruise may be legitimately concerned about COVID-19 protocol on the set, but he may want to reconsider the mask he is wearing while there. The valve mask he has been seen wearing on the set of “Mission Impossible 7” is not recommended by the CDC. Experts say that while those masks offer great protection to the person wearing them by filtering air coming in, they do little to nothing to protect those around them, because the valve doesn’t filter the exhaled breaths going out.
