(Deepshikha Gautam, Intern Journalist) New York: Several studies have also been done on the issue of masks being effective in preventing corona infection. Scientists have done another study about which mask is more effective. Scientists have evaluated the changes made to the mask and its effectiveness to prevent corona infection.
Scientists have found in their studies that two-layer masks made of nylon are more effective than normal masks.
Indeed, during the Corona epidemic, various face-covering devices and masks to protect against viruses are being seen in the market. It has been claimed that these things prevent corona infection better than traditional masks. However, scientists say that there have been fewer studies regarding the effectiveness of masks or other instruments covering the face. Scientists have assessed the usefulness of the mask on the basis of exposure to the virus.
Scientists say that surgical masks are effective up to 38.5 percent in protecting humans from the virus in the air, but this is when it is tied tightly and tightly to the ear.
If worn with precision, its efficiency increases and it can prevent infection by about 60.3 percent. Scientists in the study found that when the surgical mask is prepared by adding a layer of nylon, its effectiveness increases to 80 percent.
The study team also included scientists from the US-based University of North Carolina (UNC) affiliated School of Medicine. Co-author and scientist of this research said that it is very important to reduce the amount of virus while walking outside or during contact with someone. If you come in contact with more viruses then your risk of getting sick is very high. That is, the mask will protect you from viruses only when it is worn accurately.
Scientists found that a mask made of cotton fabric is only 49 percent effective while the N-95 mask protects you from the virus by 95 percent. However, scientists also say that it works best if the mask is used with a press clip near the nose. It is often discussed that the mask should be washed periodically to reduce the risk of infection. Scientists say that washing a mask made of cotton and nylon improves its ability.
