Not a scuba, this is a type of cloth mask that is effective against Covid

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes that #pakaimasker not only protects others but also protects oneself.

“The evidence is that the more layers the mask works better in terms of reducing risk for everyone,” said Harvard environmental health researcher Joseph Gardner Allen, launching CNN International in Jakarta, Saturday (11/21/2020).

Then what types of masks can provide maximum protection? According to him, a good mask is made with at least two layers of cloth.

“You can use a minimum of 2 layers of masks, but three layers of masks are better,” said Allen.

According to him, avoid using a gaiter mask or what is known as a buff mask, unless this is all that’s available. In fact, a recent study said that this type of mask was ineffective.

“Apart from the level of filtration, the thing that must also be considered is the fit (size),” continued Allen.

“You want the mask to go over the bridge of the nose, under the chin and over the face, placed along the skin. You want your breath to pass through the filter media and not out from the side,” he concluded.
