Corona current
That’s how safe FFP2 masks really are
Corona current: surgical mask, FFP2 or even FFP3 masks – the variety of mouth and nose covers is great. But which ones offer the best protection?
In order to protect yourself as well as possible against infection with the Coroan virus, a mask is compulsory throughout Germany. The Max Planck Institute has now tested the protection of the FFP2 masks – and came to an astonishing result.
Germany has a firm grip on the fourth wave of the corona pandemic. There has been a mask requirement in many places almost since the beginning of the pandemic. How effective the different masks are and what the protection depends on, researchers at the Max Planck Institute have now published in a scientific study.
Corona aktuell – study on FFP2 masks: protection depends most on this
It is already fairly certain that masks, especially those of a medical nature, protect against infection in a certain way. But which types of masks are particularly effective and what affects or benefits protection? The scientists included all of these points in their research. We reveal the most important results of the study to you in this RTL video.
