Scientists from the Canadian Public Health Agency and the University of Manitoba have proven that 100% cotton material protects against coronavirus.
If COVID-19 particles are added to this material, the infection will last less than a day, Qadin.Net reports quoting publika.az.
Experts have found that the use of cotton face masks is the safest and most useful. Only triple cotton fabric has the same level of protection, but it is not easy to find.
"Cotton clothes can be considered safe after a day. Now it is very important to study different types of fragments to understand under what conditions and at what speed the coronavirus is destroyed, "said Stanislav Otstavnov, deputy head of the leading research laboratory, associate professor of information technology and management at the Central Institute of Education and Science of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. said in an interview.
The researchers noted that the cotton cloth provides relatively little protection against the virus compared to a special medical cloth, but that it effectively traps respiratory droplets as the infection spreads.
