A mask is a protective equipment that covers the mouth and nose and is routinely used in workplaces, public transport and other communal settings preventing harmful particles, dust, droplets, bacteria, viruses, fog, gas, smoke and steam from entering the respiratory system. However, wearing a mask may impair the visual field, potentially affecting balance and reaction time. The investigators' aim is to determine whether the use of masks affects people's balance and reactions.
