To prevent corona virus, experts have been urging people to wear face masks when leaving home. Now, scientists have revealed in a new study the extent to which a face mask can protect you from the corona virus. According to Mail Online, scientists say that wearing a face mask does not make you 100% safe, but it reduces your risk of getting the virus by 65%.
According to scientists at the University of California, Davis Children's Hospital, one of the biggest causes of the spread of the corona virus is the tiny droplets that come out of people's mouths when they talk, cough or sneeze that are invisible to the naked eye. These drops are suspended in the air and can be inhaled and transmitted to other people's bodies. If you wear a face mask, you will avoid the virus that is transmitted this way.
Dr. Ben Bloomberg, head of the research team, said that while face masks reduce people's risk of contracting the virus by 65%, social distance restrictions are more effective than reducing your risk of contracting the virus by up to 90%. Goes Therefore, we will urge people to take care of both face masks and social distance restrictions. People who say they don't trust face masks try to disprove scientific evidence.
