New Delhi (Kalinga Voice): N95 mask worn properly is good enough protection against Covid. However, two cloth masks or surgical masks are now recommended for better protection. An N95 mask worn properly is highly effective. If you are wearing a cloth mask, then one may consider a double-mask because its filtration is not as good as an N-95 mask, said All India Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) chief Dr Randeep Guleria. Dr Guleria stressed that the mask must form a seal around the nose to be effective, adding that the bigger concern is Covid being airborne and therefore, ventilation is key.
if a person has coughed or sneezed in a room and then he left the room, the virus may still be there. Hence, it’s important to have well-ventilated rooms, with cross-ventilation and better to avoid a crowd or meetings within closed spaces , says Dr. Guleria
Make sure that you are properly wearing your mask and it forms a seal around your nose and mouth. A lot of people wears mask in a way that a lot of air goes in from the side of their nose or cheeks or chin area. That is of no use, said Dr Randeep Guleria in an interview to NDTV.
