Amid the coronavirus pandemic, we all become more familiar with terms like Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) masks. They are typically used in healthcare and lab settings, worn by workers to block infection by viruses and bacteria from bodily fluids. Healthcare workers directly caring for people with virus wear full PPE, including clothing, gloves, face shields, surgical masks and/or respirator masks.

They fit tightly around the nose and face and filter out 95 percent of large and small airborne particles. Read this infographic to know more about PPE masks made in USA.
