A surgical mask is a loose-fitting disposable mask that creates a physical barrier between the wearer's mouth and nose and potential contaminants in the immediate environment, primarily protecting against large droplets and splashes. An N95 mask, on the other hand, is a tight-fitting respirator that filters out at least 95% of airborne particles, including very small particles, offering a higher level of protection.
