The CVC says it now protects masked people from Kovid-19

The new guideline cites several studies that show that masks reduce the risk of contracting or catching the virus by more than 70% in different situations. A study Two masked hair stylists helped each other use masks to prevent the virus from spreading. Another was followed by an infected man who spent more than 10 hours on planes without infecting other passengers when the masks were used.

The agency said in a financial analysis that a 15% increase in universal masking could prevent losses of up to trillion tr trillion.

“The relationship between source control and personal protection is complementary and possibly synergistic, thereby increasing personal benefit with increasing community mask use,” the CDC said.

Some textile masks are as good as surgical masks in preventing drops, the CDC said. Polypropylene produces a static charge that captures particles, the CDC says, making silk repel moisture droplets and be more comfortable.

“Multi-layer fabric with high thread counts performed better compared to single layers of fabric with lower thread counts, filtering 50% fine particles less than 1 micron in some cases,” CDC said.

“This is a two-way street,” Dr Anthony Fauzi, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told MSNBC on Tuesday. “You protect others, their mask protects you and your mask protects you too.”
