As
more contagious SARS-CoV-2 variants emerge around the world, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends
wearing two face masks as a more effective way to protect ourselves against the
new coronavirus variants. They suggest that wearing medical-grade N95 mask on
top of surgical mask can significantly boost your protection against SARS-CoV-2
variants. We all know that N95 is the gold standard for face mask. However, due
to limited supply, N95 masks are best reserved for healthcare workers.
Luckily,
there is a next best alternative to N95 mask – KF94 mask. KF94 masks are the South Korean version of the N95
masks. KF stands for Korean
Filter and the number 94
indicates that the mask is 94% effective at filtering out airborne viral particles.
Locally,
AirQueen Philippines is the
authorized distributor of several brands of South Korean KF94 masks. One of
their products that caught my eyes is CleanWell
KF94 Respiratory Nano Mask. CleanWell KF94 masks are certified by the
Korean Food and Drug Administration (FDA) so you can rest assured that the
product is of high quality. Its 3D ergonomic design makes the mask breathable
and more comfortable to wear even for a long period of time. CleanWell KF94
mask has an adjustable nose bridge and elastic earloop to ensure that the mask
is securely fit to your face.
