Coronavirus has literally turned the world upside down. The past few
months have been so new to us and the people of the world are slowly
settling down in the new normal today. Countries and states around
the world are reopening from stay-at-home and lockdown orders. As
the lockdowns ease, the most crucial thing to remember is to wear a
mask.

3. Introduction:
The World Health Organization and the Centres for Disease Control
(CDC), recommend using masks while stepping out of the house.
Health experts around the world unanimously agree that masks help
prevent the spread of COVID-19. More people wearing masks in public
is directly proportional to the reduction of the spread of coronavirus.
There is a lot of evidence supporting the positive role of masks in
reducing COVID-19. One lab study shows the ability of masks blocking
respiratory droplets.

4. Introduction:
The experiment using a high-speed video shows that about 20-500
micrometres were generated when saying a small phrase but nearly all
of the droplets were blocked when the mouth was covered with a
cloth. This was also seen in another study with people who had the
common cold, found that wearing a surgical mask significantly
reduced the amount of droplets and respiratory viruses released in the
atmosphere.

6. How do the different masks work?
1.Surgical Masks:
Surgical mask is a loose fitting, disposable mask that protects the
person’s nose and mouth from droplets that may contain germs. The
mask filters out large air particles from entering the wearer’s nose and
mouth. It in turn helps the wearer from other droplets and aerosols
from entering their own nose and mouth. Surgical masks are not
proven to be 100% effective against coronavirus but provide some sort
of a protection against it.

2. N95 Masks:
An N95 mask gives better protection than a surgical mask. It filters out
both small and large particles for the wearer. It is designed to keep out
95% of air particles from entering the nose and mouth. Like surgical
masks, N95 masks are intended to be disposed of. Scientists and
researchers are still trying to effectively disinfect N95 masks. There is
a valve that helps release unfiltered air when the person breathes out.
For this reason, it is considered not 100% effective against
coronavirus.

3. Cloth Masks
Cloth masks give cover against droplets and particles from entering
the atmosphere. Wearing a cloth mask can help bring down the spread
of the virus from people who may have it and know that. It is being
encouraged around the world to be worn in a public setting to curb the
spread of the virus. Cloth masks can be washed and reused.

9. Final thoughts:
It is important to understand that even though masks are not 100%
effective against coronavirus, they give effective protection against the
spread of it. It is highly advisable to wear one while stepping out in a
public setting. Face masks can help in reducing community
transmission while they step outside. Masks stop or reduce the
number of droplets from getting in and out of the wearer’s mouth. It is
important that we all should be taking the necessary social distancing
precautions, wear masks and regularly wash hands to keep ourselves
away from contracting the virus.
