A '''cloth face mask''' is a non-medical makeshift face mask. They have been used widely during the [[COVID-19]] pandemic by civilians. They have been shown in a randomized trial done in 2015 to filter only 3% of infectious material, compared to surgical masks which filtered 56%. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection.
