The topic of fake masks is circulating widely in the community. This certainly raises concerns, because fake masks can make someone more susceptible to being infected with the Corona virus.
At the beginning of the pandemic, there was a shortage of medical masks and efforts were made to accelerate the availability of masks. In an effort to prevent shortages, Indonesia has been able to meet the need for masks in the country and 996 medical masks are reported to have received distribution permits from the Ministry of Health.
Currently, there are many N96 and KN95 skins in the community. But there are also those who report fake medical masks that are very dangerous.
Physically, it is very difficult to know which N95 and KN95 masks are for medical use and which are not. This can only be seen after testing.
So what is the easiest way to distinguish between fake and non-fake skins?
“Non-medical masks do not have a distribution permit from the Ministry of Health because they do not meet the testing standards as a medical device. Therefore, to avoid the wrong choice of medical masks, people should buy medical masks that they already have. distribution permits. “said Farmalkes Acting Managing Director Dr. Arianti Anaya., MKM, at a press conference on Sunday (4/4/2021).
This distribution permission is contained in the package and can also be accessed at infoalkes.kemkes.go.id. Additionally, if healthcare workers and the public find a mask that they suspect does not meet the standards, they can report it to the Halo Ministry of Health at 1500567.
