Covid-19 Barrier Mask Risk Statement

This mask is not a substitute for a clinical-grade respirator or mask. The wearing of this Barrier Face Mask will not guarantee that you won’t catch Covid-19. 

While masks of this type cannot stop all particles carrying viruses, they are effective at capturing droplets, larger particles, and at reducing instances of the wearer touching their face. 

They are effective at reducing the number of virus-carrying droplets and particles that a pre or asymptomatic Covid-19 sufferer wearing a Barrier Mask might discharge into the air and so protecting others.
