The fabric mask is slightly open at the top so you can add an additional layer for optimal protection. This can then be replaced, and you can wear the fabric mask for longer. The face covering is made with different fabrics on the front and back. This allows you to match it with your outfit and colour coordinate as you like... if you already have a fabric mask, then you can make it more beautiful and as unique as you like, using one of these masks as extra protection for yourself and, in particular, for others!

Maintenance: The fabric masks can be washed or steam ironed to make them clean and reusable. Viruses are killed at temperatures of 60 degrees Celsius. The moisture buildup in the fabric through prolonged breathing forms bacteria, thus it must be washed at this temperature. As such, 2 masks per person is recommended.

FABRIC MASKS (mouth and nose covering) - a good addition in the fight against Covid-19

What can these fabric masks be used for?

This mouth and nose covering is a temporary mask. It is not a medical product nor personal protective equipment (PPE). However, the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices states:

"Despite the limitations of these "non-medical masks," as items of protective clothing, they can help reduce the spread of respiratory droplets, when for example, the person coughs.  They also help visibly raise the awareness of "social distancing" as well as provide protection for the wearer and those around them. In this way, the mask wearer can contribute to reducing the further spread of SARS-CoV-2. Tightly woven fabrics are, therefore, more suitable than lightly woven ones".

The usual hygiene regulations must still be adhered to, as well as keeping the recommended distance of at least 1.50 meters away from other people.
