Source control (respiratory disease)

Source control is a strategy for reducing disease transmission by blocking respiratory secretions produced through breathing,^[1] speaking, coughing, sneezing^[2] or singing.^[3] Multiple source control techniques can be used in hospitals,^[4] but for the general public wearing personal protective equipment during epidemics or pandemics, respirators provide the greatest source control,^[1] followed by surgical masks, with cloth face masks recommended for use by the public only when there are shortages of both respirators and surgical masks.^[5]^[6]^[7]
