Assessment of Cloth Face Coverings as Source Control Under Laboratory and Simulated Field Conditions

Participants will have a mask fit test and will wear a flannel mask with ear loops. While wearing the flannel mask, participants will perform a sequence of activities. The researchers will note whether the mask lost its fit (e.g., slipping off the nose or face). Between activities, participants will be told to re-adjust the mask. Participants will be assigned to a specific speed on a treadmill with no incline, either 1.5 mph, the 'light' activity level, or 3 mph, the 'moderate' activity level. They will walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes. Prior to the treadmill activity, participants will rate the comfort and fit of the mask. Near the end of the activity, participants will rate their perceived exertion and again rate the comfort of the mask. Participants will complete a post-experiment questionnaire following all activities.
