How to make your surgical mask fit more like an N95

Now that San Diego has an official mandate that we must all cover our faces when around those that aren’t in the same household, I thought I’d share a trick to making your standard surgical mask fit more like an N95. 

Front line workers need N95s when in direct contact with Covid-19 patients. So if you have a stash of both surgical masks and N95s, feel free to donate those N95s to a frontline worker in need. 
Depending on the ASTM, (American Society of Testing and Materials), level of your surgical mask, you can count on anywhere from 95-98%  bacterial and particulate filtration. The major issue with surgical masks is that when they are worn normally, they leave a lot of gaping holes and do not create a solid seal around the face. The following tricks will help reduce those gaps, and help your surgical mask contour to your face much better.
