I don’t know what the quality of masks is like overseas but one thing you don’t see is cloth masks. If you do see them they are always over the top of an actual mask just for a fancy design. But never cloth only.

Here in Spain there were lots of cloth masks. And I've never seen people wear two of any type.
What is considered an actual mask here? N95, surgical, or something else?
Surgical Mask (3ply) and N95.

Pretty much all masks are surgical 3ply now, at the start of covid it was quite hit and miss, alot of 'surgical' were not 3ply.
