Creators claimed the mask has an innovative coating which helps to neutralize SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, when it comes into contact with the fabric.In a statement released to journalists, the scientists say it remains the same even after 50 washes.Pedro Simas, a virologist from Portugal said tests of the mask revealed a “99 percent viral reduction one hour of contact with the virus”.
He said: “In a simplified way, these tests consist of analysing the tissue after contact with a solution that contains a certain amount of virus, whose viability is measured over time.”
