Question: Do I still need to keep my distance if I am wearing a facemask?

Does CDC recommend the use of facemask or face coverings to prevent COVID-19?
section_content: In light of data about how COVID-19 spreads, along with evidence of widespread
COVID-19 illness in communities across the country, CDC recommends that people
wear a cloth face
covering to cover their nose and mouth in the community
setting. This is an additional public health measure people should take to
reduce the spread of COVID-19 in addition to (not instead of) social
distancing, frequent hand cleaning and other everyday preventive actions. A
cloth face covering is not intended to protect the wearer, but may prevent the
spread of virus from the wearer to others. This would be especially important
in the event that someone is infected but does not have symptoms. A cloth face
covering should be worn whenever people must go into public settings (grocery
stores, for example). Medical masks and N-95 respirators are reserved for
healthcare workers and other first responders, as recommended by current CDC
guidance.

section_headers: Do I still need to stay at least 6 feet away from people if wearing a cloth face covering?
section_content: Yes. Wearing cloth face coverings is an additional public health measure
people should take to reduce the spread of COVID-19. CDC still recommends that
you stay at least 6 feet away from other people (social distancing), frequent
hand cleaning and other everyday preventive actions. A cloth face covering is
not intended to protect the wearer, but it may prevent the spread of virus
from the wearer to others. This would be especially important if someone is
infected but does not have symptoms. View CDC’s guidance on how to protect
yourself.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Not only does this answer the question directly, it is a perfect response and interactive because of the "no." response.
The answer is readily available in the first sentence and the rest is provided as background. It provides a link for more info.

section_headers: Respirators
What makes N95 respirators different from facemasks (sometimes called a surgical mask)?
section_content: 
Infographic: Understanding the difference between surgical masks and N95 respiratorspdf icon
N95 respirators reduce the wearer’s exposure to airborne particles, from small particle aerosols to large droplets. N95 respirators are tight-fitting respirators that filter out at least 95% of particles in the air, including large and small particles.
Not everyone is able to wear a respirator due to medical conditions that may be made worse when breathing through a respirator. Before using a respirator or getting fit-tested, workers must have a medical evaluation to make sure that they are able to wear a respirator safely.
Achieving an adequate seal to the face is essential. United States regulations require that workers undergo an annual fit test and conduct a user seal check each time the respirator is used. Workers must pass a fit test to confirm a proper seal before using a respirator in the workplace.
When properly fitted and worn, minimal leakage occurs around edges of the respirator when the user inhales. This means almost all of the air is directed through the filter media.
Unlike NIOSH-approved N95s, facemasks are loose-fitting and provide only barrier protection against droplets, including large respiratory particles. No fit testing or seal check is necessary with facemasks. Most facemasks do not effectively filter small particles from the air and do not prevent leakage around the edge of the mask when the user inhales.
The role of facemasks is for patient source control, to prevent contamination of the surrounding area when a person coughs or sneezes. Patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 should wear a facemask until they are isolated in a hospital or at home. The patient does not need to wear a facemask while isolated.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Does not address the question. Provides info about different kinds of masks but nothing about social distancing.
While this relates to face masks and prevention, it does not easily answer the question of whether a face mask can make up for lack of physical distancing.
