Index – Foreign – Will two masks be the new trend instead of one?

In the United States, the theme reappeared after Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony when several participants, including the young poet Amanda Gorman and former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, attended the event in double masks. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the US President’s chief health advisor, supports the idea, as it is clear that multiple layers provide greater protection. In the case of textile masks, the World Health Organization has already proposed a three-tier solution.

THE AVERAGE TEXTILE MASK MAY BE AN AFFORDABLE SOLUTION WITH A SURGICAL MASK Rather than the MOST EXPENSIVE FFP2 MASK, ITS EFFECTIVENESS ALSO APPROACHES PROFESSIONAL MASKS, IF APPROPRIATELY IF APPROPRIATE.

However, epidemiologists note that wearing a tighter mask alone does not provide sufficient protection, so frequent hand washing and keeping your distance are still necessary.

The Index previously wrote that Austria tightened the rules this week, and wearing the FFP2 mask in supermarkets and public transport is mandatory for anyone under the age of 14. The average price of a professional mask that filters out 94 percent of viruses was around 5 euros last week, but now it can be purchased for 59 euros a penny in most grocery stores, and the FFP2 mask is provided for free of charge to those in need by the Austrian government. Similar measures have been introduced in Bavaria before, and Germany and France plan to reinforce the use of masks.

We asked the operations staff if they planned to change the mask use rules, but have not received a response since last Friday.
