Medical Face Masks With Designs. Coronavirus is the word that perhaps every person on this planet heard at least once lately. For the past couple of months, this very word has been in the headlines of pretty much all the newspapers and magazines as well as has been a hot topic in media in general. At the same time, the information about this disease is quite often inaccurate, which makes many people panic with no valid reasons for that. So let us try to figure out what this disease actually is and how can you protect yourself against it.
According to the World Health Organization, Coronavirus disease also known as COVID-19 is strain that first appeared at the end of 2019 in China and quickly spread all over the world. The virus has not been identified in humans before, it is believed that it has been transmitted first form animals to humans and now is transmitted between animals and humans through close contacts such as touches, kisses, hugs, etc. as well as through contacts with contaminated objects (usually hard surfaces).
The disease’s symptoms include fever, cough, breathing difficulties, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which makes it similar to common cold or flu. At the same time, COVID-19 is much more dangerous than a cold especially for the elderly people or those who have chronic illnesses that affect the immune system.

In order to avoid getting infected, the World Health Organization offers to take the following measures:
However, the most important thing that you want to do is stop panicking. First of all, a whole bunch of toilet paper will not protect you from the virus. Secondly, panicking causes stress and stress reduces your immunity. Finally, coronavirus is not a deadly disease, its death rate is only 3% and if you are a young and healthy person it will not kill you. So follow the WHO’s recommendations and keep calm.
If the pandemic is already in your state or city, you might want to start wearing masks whenever you are in public, so here are some fancy ones that will make this period at least a little bit easier for you.

How much can such masks protect against the virus at all?
Cloth masks are not really designed to protect you from the virus, they are to protect others from your secretions. Covid seems to have a high incidence of asymptomatic infections. Seemingly healthy people may be walking around spreading the virus. If we all cover our mouths and noses while practicing social distancing, hopefully, the viral spread can be managed. Also, if you have a mask covering your mouth and nose and glasses covering your eyes, you won't be able to transfer the virus from surfaces to your mucous membranes. It is a win-win!
Can such masks be washed? How should they be treated to properly disinfect them? How often should a mask be changed?
I think the best description I have heard about the cleanliness of cloth masks is to treat them like underwear. On your side of the mask, viruses, and bacteria may get caught as you breathe in and out. On the outside of the mask, there may be additional viruses, but also pollen and mold. We should not forget this is also spring allergy season. With this in mind, I would recommend you wash a cloth mask after each usage in the washing machine with detergent.
I really like your masks because they are so fitted to the face. I have already heard of several people, especially seniors, who have fallen while wearing masks. Three reasons: the masks slip around on their faces, the masks are too thick so they cannot see their feet when they are walking and their glasses get fogged. You need to prevent air escape from the top of the mask to keep from fogging your glasses. Your masks do this. The square masks do not.
