Social distancing may be a good way to avoid getting infected by the COVID-19 coronavirus. However, if ever you have to go out to do grocery shopping (and sometimes engage in outdoor exercises), then you will need a face mask ready on hand.

Fortunately, you do not have to risk getting out unprotected to buy one or more. Online, companies have been cranking out hundreds of good quality face masks that will help slow the transmission of the virus. Whether disposable or reusable, these are sure to help you and others deal with the new normal.

All the face masks on each pack can filter out up to 99% virus-causing bacteria, including those found in dust and in respiratory droplets, thanks to their water-resistant layer. These comfortable and breathable masks can be used at home, in areas with poor air quality, or at the workplace.

3. Zubrex Disposable Face Mask

Zubrex's disposable face masks are thinner than most other disposable masks on the market, thanks to a nanofiber inner layer that makes them less bulky -- and therefore makes breathing easier when blocking out saliva, dust and other fine particles in the air. Their extra-soft elastic ear loops relieve pressure to the ears for maximum comfort. The masks are available in blue and purple colors on Amazon.

4. Eqoba Face Mask
