That is my understanding based on what I have read:
“The level of protection provided by a face covering appears to be substantially driven by the number and quality of layers of material and not whether it’s in the form of a gaiter or a mask,” Sharma said.
Sharma’s team modeled their research on a previous study by Duke University, which used a laser to measure respiratory droplets after different types of masks were worn while speaking. In that study, cotton masks with multiple layers reduced the spread better than bandanas and neck gaiters. The study was published in Science Advances in early August.
