A Novel Face Masks and it’s Utility during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Comprehensive Review
Journal Title: Journal of Quality in Health Care & Economics (JQHE) - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
In recent decades, the rising frequency of infectious illnesses has presented a severe danger to public health. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States established that an infected or asymptomatic person wearing a surgical mask shields others from the user. This is because virus-laden aerosols and droplets are thought to be the major mode of transmission between persons. The United States continues to have insufficient control over the spread of SARS-CoV-2, even with the extensive use of masks and other mitigating methods. The public health viewpoint on mask usage, the technical specifications of store-bought and homemade masks, and the most current developments in mask engineering, materials, and disinfection will all be covered in this review. Additionally, the sustainability of mask wear and mask manufacture will be discussed.
