Just like the virus, masks have variants too. One of the most powerful mask variants is the scientifically designed, BIS certified FFP2 mask or an N95 mask. As per a study by ACGIH USA, if we all wear correct masks, we can stay protected from viruses for up to 25 hours, even when presence is shared with an infected person (see table). With cloth masks, this duration drops to 27 minutes.
FFP2 masks have electrostatically charged layers that ordinary masks do not have. Experts recommend using FFP2 or N95 masks only.
