Abstract :
N-95 masks undoubtedly provides the most
effective protection against minute particulates
including the novel coronavirus, but due to the extreme
shortage of supply it’s reserved for the front line health
care personals. Surgical masks can filter large droplets
and big particulate mattes but still it’s not advisable for
use to the common public, in such a scenario wearing a
universal cloth face mask in combination with
meticulous hand hygiene and social distancing can
provide a complementary protection and can
significantly block the spread of infection.
Keywords :
Cloth mask, surgical mask, pandemic, Covid 19, SARS-CoV-2.
