Do the masks that doctors wear have a name?

Yes, the masks that doctors wear are called surgical masks. Surgical masks are personal protective equipment (PPE) that are designed to protect the wearer from inhaling airborne particles and microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses. They are made of a non-woven material that is fluid-resistant and breathable. Surgical masks are typically used in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and clinics, to protect patients and healthcare workers from the spread of infection.
