Why Do I Need These Masks?

C-viruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, the viruses cause respiratory infections, which are typically mild including the common cold… but rarer forms like SARS, MERS and the Corona virus can be lethal.

As the Wuhan C-viruses continues to spread, officials worldwide are urging citizens to wear masks in public to stop the spread of the virus — and cities in America, Europe, China, and around the world, are running out of face masks.

Who Needs to Use Disposable Medical Face Masks?

Protective facemasks are worn to prevent the spread of germs from one person to another or to protect an individual from inhaling airborne particulates. Medical masks are manufactured using a pleated front with cloth ear-loops, or ties in a contour cup design, and typically feature an adjustable nosepiece and a retention band that secures the mask in place. Anyone working in medical and industrial applications should use this class of mask to cover the mouth and nose from sprays, vapors and particles.
