7 PM25 anti-haze mask It can block particles with particle size less than or equal to 25 microns in the air which has a certain effect on virus prevention and can effectively prevent droplet transmission but it is mainly used to prevent haze Finally let's talk about the correct way to wear the most widely used disposable medical masks 1 Distinguish between inside and outside blue is outside white is inside; fold down is outside fold up is inside 2 Make a clear distinction between the upper and lower parts the metal soft strip is always the upper part 1 Distinguish between inside and outside blue is outside white is inside; fold down is outside fold up is inside 2 Make a clear distinction between the upper and lower parts the part with soft metal strips is always the upper part The "new coronavirus" is a tough battle that is being waged across the country and even the world Early detection early isolation and early diagnosis are the responsibilities of government departments and medical institutions But for us ordinary people the most important thing is not to get together wash our hands frequently and wear masks correctly when we go out!
