The global supply of this essential item is facing a critical shortage, making it a top priority for Healthcare workers who are on the frontlines battling this pandemic. Governments worldwide have also advised using these masks or similar alternatives when traveling on public transportation. Although effective, these masks come with some limitations - their lifespan is relatively short, lasting only about 8 hours - and a more significant issue exists. Respiratory viruses like SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) can survive for up to 72 hours on various surfaces, posing a substantial risk. Wearing a conventional mask throughout the day can trap a large amount of viral and bacterial load just inches from our face, putting us at greater risk of infection. This is not a finished product; it requires post-processing and sealing before proper use. We will provide tutorials to demonstrate how to assemble and seal the mask correctly.
