ISLAMABAD, August 15 (online): Researchers have developed a low-cost and accessible way to assess the effectiveness of face masks.
A new study has outlined an affordable and accessible test to determine the efficacy of face masks in blocking droplets projected from a person’s mouth.
The research may help organizations determine the most effective face masks to purchase during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
A major way of managing the current COVID-19 pandemic has been the use of face masks. As time has gone on, a growing consensus has developed around their value in blocking the transmission of Sars-CoV-2.
For example, although initially reluctant to advise mask-wearing due to a lack of evidence, the World Health Organization (WHO) now recommend in high transmission situations where social distancing is difficult, the general public should wear non-medical face coverings. This is in addition to specific groups of people who may be more vulnerable.
Face coverings are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus – particularly when used universally within a community setting. Everyone have a responsibility to protect themselves, their families, and their communities.”
