- If you aren’t experiencing any flu-like symptoms
- If you aren’t infected with COVID-19
- If you aren’t leaving your doors too much
- If you are far or not in the outbreak zone
Although most of us are relying on masks to cover ourselves from the clutches of coronavirus, it is important to Coronavirus know that these masks aren’t fool-proof. For those who do not wear masks properly, or take it off at regular intervals, it may lead to leakage hence ruining the purpose
If you are using the regular disposable masks, don’t wear them at a stretch of more than 3-8 hours because it’s not as effective as the Coronavirus N-95 respirators. N-95 respirators block even 0.3 microns diameter particles, and thus proves to be your best bet to prevent coronavirus.
