  1. What Type of Face Masks Are More Effective at Preventing Infectious Particles? In the light of COVID-19, everyone is taking the preventive guidelines very seriously and adopting a new normal of wearing a mask out in public to slow the spread of the virus. With a variety of face masks in the market, it might be challenging to pick the best and effective option. In this article, we are going to discuss different types of masks and its efficacy to give a clear understanding. Alongside preventive measures like social distancing and frequent hand washing, wearing a face mask could be an effective way to flatten the curve of COVID-19. The pandemic has changed the way we used to live, work, and travel, as now people might feel vulnerable out in public, that’s why it is best to cover your mouth and nose with a mask to ensure safety.

  2. Coronavirus can be mainly transmitted through three routes i.e. sneezing, coughing, and talking. These harmful particles may release into the air and can increase the risk of contagion. That being said, the widespread use of face masks may help slow the spread of the virus. You could possibly get infected if you touch your nose, eyes, or mouth after touching an infected surface or object, so you should carry hand sanitizer and wear nitrile rubber gloves for optimum protection. With plenty of face masks available, it can be daunting to understand which one suits best and give a higher level of protection. This guide will cover which face masks are appropriate to obtain protection against viral and bacterial contamination. Let’s get started! Which Kind of Face Masks Works Best to Reduce Contagion Risk? •Respirators Respirators like N95 and KN95 masks are tight-fitted gear that are made of skin-friendly fabric and highly effective at filtering up to 95% of airborne particles (approx. 0.3 microns) and pathogens. They can capture both small and large particles, making people less susceptible to infection. N95 masks are best suited for individuals working in risky environments like oil plants, industrial applications, construction sites, laboratories, and other workplaces. It can help protect both the wearer and people around them against contamination risk factors as they have the ability to filter out both aerosols and respiratory droplets. •Cloth Face Masks In most cases, the purpose of wearing a mask is to reduce the chance of droplet transmission and this is where cloth face masks come to the rescue. That’s why, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US advice people wear cloth face coverings in public settings, especially where social distancing measure is hard to follow. When worn properly, a cloth mask is enough to reduce the risk of getting infected. Is there any type of face mask you should avoid? The selection of fabric is very crucial when it comes to face masks. Fleece is one of the worst fabrics to use for a face mask. It may break down large particles into small ones, which can increase the chances of contagion to a large extent. Moreover, avoid N95 respirators with valves as these may protect the wearer but not the other people around them. When do you Need to Wear a Face Mask?

  3. It is necessary to wear a mask whenever you leave your home as you never predict what you are going to encounter in public places. You may either come in close contact with others at the grocery stores or find it difficult to maintain physical distance in public transportation. You can’t control what others are doing, but you can always do your best to protect yourself and the larger community. Conclusion: Not all masks are equal and provide the same level of protection. Whatever kind of face mask you choose to wear, make sure it fits snugly over the mouth and nose and promotes breathability for longer hours, so there are no gaps left through which droplets may escape. Also, make sure to wash your hands before and after using the mask to prevent the spread of the virus.
