Doesn't seem to specify, and the masks in the image on the NIH site look like they're meant to be just surgical masks (unless there's a pleated KN95 design common in the UK (E: NIH is the US lol don't know how I made that mistake) I don't recognize).

The NIH is in AmeriKKKa, you're thinking of the NHS.

Lol you're right, I guess I was so certain that nothing good could come out of the NIH that my brain automatically assumed it was another country.

I actually did also do this the first time I read the title, lol. It took me a second to realize it was NIH and not NHS.

No, it's probably surgical. I vaguely remember something during the Biden years where they were refusing to consider an upgrade to n95s.

Its definitely surgical.
