A nose mask from Mexico. How it works?

It is impossible to eat in a properly worn mask – that’s obvious. Therefore, whenever we want to eat or even drink a little water, we must remove the mask. Thus, we risk becoming infected with coronavirus in a public place. Researchers in Mexico decided to remedy this, so they produced a nose mask.

Masks in Poland – which are allowed, which are forbidden?

Although such a solution could solve certain logistical problems, wearing a Mexican mask would be illegal in Poland. The latest regulations, introduced in February 2021, require Polish citizens to cover both their nose and mouth tightly. Currently, it is forbidden to use substitutes for masks, such as chimneys, scarves or scarves. Also, helmets are no longer sufficient protection against COVID-19 and cannot be used unless there is a mask under the visor.

The rulers recommend the use of surgical masks and higher, but there are no contraindications for the use of material masks. However, it should be remembered that they provide less protection than professional protections, such as the FFP2 mask.
