Great discussion about fabric masks

For the protection provided by cloth masks for the coronavirus, experts point out that for months the scientific community has been giving instructions to citizens. Therefore, the specifications that a mask must meet in order to be considered to provide protection against coronavirus have become clear. Whether surgical or fabric, a mask should not allow coronavirus molecules to pass through.

As Despina Vlepaki clarified on Open TV, if the new coronavirus mutation changes and given what we know so far about coronavirus masks, this remains to be seen from new research. However, experts make it clear that with the data so far the masks we use keep us safe.

“The instructions that came out in France speak more about the quality of the masks. We have said this relatively early “, discussed during the briefing on Friday Mr. Majorkinis, then clarified that masks used against coronavirus are classified into two categories. “Surgical masks and cloth masks can also be included in category 1. It depends on their quality. The masks we have proposed, even the fabric ones, have very specific quality criteria that do not allow very small particles to pass through their pores “.

Then Gikas Majorkinis clarified that the recommendations of the French Ministry of Health “do not differ from what we have made clear for quite some time”. “The exact recommendation they have now given to people is simply to pay attention to the quality of the mask they are using, whether they are surgical or fabric,” Mr Majorkinis clarified.

Concern and disagreement prevail among scientists in our country if the masks will protect against the mutations of the virus. Cloth masks protect less than surgical masks. White cones protect more than surgical ones. At this stage using the fabric ones, is enough! If due to a mutation they need to change, we will announce it “stressed Athanasios Exadaktylos, president of PanHellenic Medical Association, on Open TV.
