Emoji Meaning
A smiling face wearing a white surgical mask — the kind you see on medical staff in hospitals 🏥 and clinics. Use it to indicate illness, medical care, or protection from haze and smoke.
A smiling face with closed eyes, a bead of sweat on its forehead and a medical mask. Once mainly a symbol of healthcare workers, masks have become an everyday essential since the pandemic — and this emoji surged in popularity after 2019.
People usually send it to refer to a clinic or an illness. The sweat drop can suggest a high fever, common with acute respiratory infections. Once conversation turned to the coronavirus, use of this emoji rose dramatically.
