The Delta variant is highly contagious. Which masks offer the best protection?
“These masks are far more efficient as compared to a cloth mask, which will filter out 20% to 50% of particles. That’s assuming they are worn correctly, with a close fit around the face that prevents particles from getting in from the side,” said Christian L’Orange, assistant professor of mechanical engineering.
