The coronavirus – (Covid-19) crisis has put the whole world on tenterhooks. The UK government has also now asked people to cover their faces in enclosed spaces, supermarkets and public transport where social distancing isn’t possible. They come with an adjustable clip and are secured tightly around the face. There are different types and models of respirator masks. Some models are FFP or Filtering Face Piece masks. As per the ratings, they could be FFP1, FFP2 or FFP3, with FFP3 offering the highest protection. They could be half face or full face masks. The N-type masks such as N95, N99, N100 masks are disposable respirator masks.
One of the most
efficient respirators is the ffp3 face mask which
is reusable and has superior filters. Some masks come with valves as
well. The advantage of valved masks is that they release air upon exhalation
and can help prevent sweat build up and also decrease stuffiness. The
best way to prevent community transmission of coronavirus is by staying home
and maintaining social distancing. If and when you need to go out to get
essentials, make sure you wear a half face mask.
