Face masks that meet CDC guidelines are available right now on Amazon (2024)

Face masks are increasingly important these days as states, businesses and schools are requiring you to wear them to help prevent the spread of coronavirus. And while Postmaster General Louis DeJoy just announced that the U.S. Postal Service will suspend any policy or operational changes until after the November presidential elections, you might have noticed various online shopping orders taking longer than normal to deliver. We’ve extensively covered how to buy face masks for yourself and your kids, including popular masks from brands like Etsy and Athleta. We also consulted experts on the best face shields, face masks with filters and masks for exercising. Most recently and following updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we shared some of the most purchased face masks we’ve covered this summer. The CDC now also recommends double masking, as a new study showed it can substantially reduce the risk of exposure to coronavirus particles. If you’re looking to add to your wardrobe of face coverings or are in a pinch to grab another set, here are some highly-rated options on Amazon that are currently in stock, whose listed features meet CDC guidelines and that can be shipped within two days.

The CDC says that while N95 and surgical masks are to be reserved for healthcare workers, cloth face coverings should be worn in public spaces. No matter where you get your face masks (or when), consider this general guidance from the CDC:

  • Masks must fit snugly (but comfortably) against your face
  • Masks must be secured with ties or ear loops
  • Masks must include multiple layers of fabric
  • Masks must allow for breathing without restriction
  • Masks must be washable without damage or shape change
