How will your mask protect me from COVID-19?

Our masks are effective at preventing droplets of moisture from passing through their filters. If someone sneezes who has a Coronavirus infection, wearing a mask should provide some protection against being infected. While it isn't a guarantee that you won't get sick, wearing a face mask provides better protection against COVID-19 than not wearing one.

Face masks should not be the only method of avoiding the Coronavirus. The following are some things you should consider in conjunction with wearing a face mask:

• Avoid crowds
• Wash your hands thoroughly and use sanitiser gel
• Maintain distance from anyone exhibiting symptoms such as coughing or sneezing
• Refrain from touching your mouth or nose

How often should I replace the filter?

It depends on how long you are wearing the mask each day? We would recommend the middle filter layer should be changed every 24 hours for hygiene reasons if you are using it throughout the day. If you were only going out for just an hour’s walk each day then you could extend this time to several days. Replacement filters are also sold separately.

Is the mask washable and reusable?

Is the mask washable and reusable?Yes. Unlike many masks on the market, this protective mask is washable, which means it can be reused again and again. Simply follow these washing tips so it can be reused with all the safeguards for your health:
