disposable mask
Single-use face shield
A disposable mask is a face covering designed for single use, typically worn to filter airborne particles or prevent the spread of respiratory droplets.
Medical-grade versions like N95s offer more protection than basic surgical masks.
The term became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic: The store required disposable masks for entry.
