Here are our answers to some of the most commonly asked questions if you want to buy the best face mask for yourself.
A face mask is made using fabric and covers your face under your eyes completely protecting your nose and mouth against any airborne viruses, pollution, etc. On the other hand, a face shield mask is made using a sturdy synthetic clear sheet fixed with a forehead sponge to act as a helmet for full-face protection. Moreover, it is a part of the PPE (personal protective equipment), covers your entire face, and must be used alongside a triple-layered mask.
Before putting on your face mask, your hands must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. It should be put on properly ensuring it covers your nose, mouth, and chin very well.
Yes. Face masks are proven to be quite effective against the spread of the COVID-19 infection if you practice social distancing, wear them properly, keep your hands clean, and wash & dispose of your masks from time to time.
Yes. Ever since the second wave of the COVID-19 virus in India, its symptoms have become very severe for many people including serious pneumonia, diarrhoea, and black fungus. However, in most parts of the world, COVID-19 has mild or moderate symptoms even though it is very contagious.
Essentially, face masks must be made using three layers of fabric:
The innermost layer must be highly absorbent such as cotton
The medium layer such be non-woven and non-absorbent such as polypropylene, and
The outermost layer must be essentially made using a non-absorbent material such as polyester or blended polyester.
We hope we helped you find the best face mask as per your requirement. Which of these masks did you like the most?
