The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers a beard and mustache guide graphic that shows what types of facial hair will make medical masks less effective.

It comes as the demand for the masks has skyrocketed in recent days amid the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, and as the disease spreads outside of China, leading to shortages and price gouging.
