Health experts recommend wearing masks in order to curb the outbreak of the new Corona virus, but the degree of prevention varies from one mask to another, and according to the material from which it is made.

The British newspaper "The Guardian" quoted a Japanese study, that non-woven masks achieve greater protection against the virus that leads to "Covid-19".

And what is meant by non-woven masks is the masks that can be worn only once, which are familiar to surgeons, and they take a light blue color.

These masks are made of “polypropylene” and are the cheapest in the market compared to other masks.

The source added that these masks are more able to stop the spread of small spray particles emitted from the breathing process.

The comparison between the masks was based on the fastest computer in the world, which is in Japan and is known as “Fugako”.

One of the great capacity of this device is that it can complete 415 "quadrillion" calculations per second, and in recent experience, it compared three types of masks.

The study found that non-woven masks, known as "non-woven", were better than their cotton and polyester counterparts.

And she revealed that these non-woven masks can more than stop what is emitted from the mouth when the person who wears them coughs.

As for the reusable cotton and polyester masks, the World Health Organization recommends that they be washed and cleaned at least once with soap and water at a temperature not lower than 60 degrees Celsius.

The researchers explained that the non-woven masks blocked the entire flow of spray, while the other masks were less effective, but they managed to suppress 80 percent of the drops.

Makoto Tsubukura, an official at the "Rickens" Center for Computing Sciences, advised wearing masks during the Corona pandemic because they really help prevent the virus.

He stressed that masks do not guarantee a single level of prevention, but the worst of all is not wearing a muzzle in light of the spread of the Corona virus, which has turned into a global pandemic.
