.... Which masks? N95 will totally filter viruses, no?

[–] drengbarazi@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They will, but you have to follow some protocols, like not having beard where the masks is supposed to seal around your face, not using it more than ~3 times (iirc), not trying to clean it (just let it rest for some days on a clean surface) and etc.

Basically always seal testing.

Also, iirc the N stands for not oil resistant, so any oil staining ruins it. I'd guess that includes sneezing on it.
