A face mask covers the face or part of the face and usually attaches with an elastic cord behind the head. A demi mask covers half the face and usually attaches with an adjustable headband. A half mask covers half the face and may be referred to as a "chinless" mask. This type of mask does not need to be removed to eat or drink.
