N95 Antiviral Electric Respirator Mask
Can wearing a face mask protect you from the new coronavirus?
Can wearing a medical face mask protect you against the new coronavirus?
It's a question many people are asking, including pet owners who are putting canine face masks on their dogs.
If it's a regular surgical face mask, the answer is no, Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, told Live Science.
The answer is: No, a regular surgical mask will not help you steer clear of the virus. You need something better than that.
A more specialized mask, known as an N95 electric respirator mask, can protect against the new coronavirus. A N95 respirator mask is personal protective equipment that prevents the wearer from inhaling aerosols (dust, smoke, mist) as well as vapors or gases (disinfectants, anesthetic gases) that are health hazards. Unavailable in pharmacy, it protects the wearer from airborne infectious agents i.e. against contamination by a virus such as coronavirus, SARS, H1N1, etc.
