Mohfw India: Warns N95 Mask Will Not Protect From Covid-19 Virus
- Face masks have become an integral part of our daily lives following the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic. Touted as the first measure to protect against the virus, masks have become mandatory for all leaving their homes.
- But, are you using the correct mask to prevent COVID-19? The health ministry on Monday warned against "inappropriate use of N95 masks, especially those that contain respiratory valves."
- In a letter to all states and union territories, Rajiv Garg, the director-general of health services, ministry of health said: "It is to bring to your knowledge that the use of valved respirator N95 masks is detrimental to the measures adopted for preventing the spread of coronavirus as it does not prevent the virus from escaping out of the mask."
- "In view of the above, I request you to instruct all concerned to follow the use of face/mouth cover and prevent inappropriate use of N95 masks," he added.
- The health ministry encouraged the public to use home-made face masks. Any cotton clothes can be used as a cover for face and mouth. The ministry had earlier issued an advisory on how to make protective face covers at home.
