dc.description.abstract	An overview of the best available research evidence from around the world (i.e., evidence syntheses) and local research evidence (i.e., single studies) and may include a scan of experiences from other countries and from Canadian provinces and territories, about the filtration performance of KN95 masks compared to surgical and N95 masks, and how their use can be optimized in hospital settings in response to a decision-maker’s request.	en_US
