Lower the mask to the chin or neck at risk of carrying germs to the nose

Jakarta (ANTARA) – The use of masks is mandatory during the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent exposure and transmit the virus, so it is not just a formality because it does not want to get a reprimand from people around.

There are also circles who are actually reluctant to wear masks, so lower the mask to the chin. Though it can attract bacteria or germs from the neck and chin to the nose when the mask is re-worn.

“Because many are stuffy when using masks, then people lower their masks under the nose, even though the main thing is to keep breathing (nose) so as not to breathe air that is exposed to viruses, so PLUG is present as a solution double protection in preventing and minimizing the risk of transmission “said Commissioner of PT Laniros Dian Pharma, Gary Tanoesoedibjo in his official statement here on Thursday.

Filter out pollution

Masks also function to filter the air from pollution, especially for those of you who are active in urban areas. British Environmental Audit study states that when stuck, humans at least breathe air pollution 40 percent higher.

“PLUG is very good to use when driving to filter pollutant-contaminated air so that inhaled air is healthier and better quality. For motorists who are directly exposed to pollutants, the use of PLUG is highly recommended because it is more practical and maximizes air pollution,” he said.

PLUG Nasal Filter presents an air filter device from South Korea with three layers of nasal filters that work directly and effectively inhibit dust, allergens, and air particles into the nasal cavity.

The results of standardized independent laboratory tests (KITECH), showed that PLUG filtration power reached 96.3 percent in dispelling pollution of small particles so as to produce healthier air quality to enter the body.

“The percentage of PLUG filtration power is greater than that of ordinary masks which only reaches 33.3 percent,” he said

“PLUG has international quality and is FDA certified in America, CE in Europe, TGA in Australia, and KITECH (Korea Institute of Industrial Technology) so it is safe to use,” he added.

PLUG can be reused after cleaning by washing it in running water. The maximum use of PLUG is 1 month as long as the filter membrane is not damaged and for daily use no more than 12 consecutive hours. This mask is sold for Rp. 25 thousand for two pieces.
