A mask that kills the Coronavirus, this time the research has exceeded every milestone. Because when it comes to Covid, scientists are competing to find something innovative, which can fight and who knows maybe defeat the pandemic. In fact, not just treatments and vaccines. Now a new discovery that could revolutionize the life of each of us. In England they are testing a mask that would be able to kill the Coronavirus. And the tests seem to confirm this, well over 90 percent.
An English discovery: the new mask on the market in December
An English scientist experimented with this new protective device. The research belongs to Professor Gareth Cave, a scientist specializing in nanotechnology at Nottingham Trent University. An invention, a discovery that could be available in a short time. According to this British research, therefore, the new mask may be able to neutralize the Coronavirus. How does it work. The device invented by the scientist has a complex mechanism. But it would be effective.
How the mask that kills the Coronavirus discovered in England is made
The device invented by Cave has a very thick coating: there is an external water-repellent layer, which would be able to hinder the inhalation of the droplets carrying the virus. A mask that is no longer three-layered like the ones we are used to keeping everyone, the surgical ones. But five layers. In addition, the masks would have a copper coating, capable of releasing ions. And these would be able to "kill" the virus. So the antiviral inner layer would guarantee additional protection. Effective, therefore, for the wearer but also for those who are nearby.
Maximum, then, their level of protection. Tests would have confirmed that these masks have a filtration efficiency of 99,98%. They would kill a normal flu virus and Coronavirus as well.
The new devices for medical personnel
But it won't be easy to find them. To market the new masks is the spin-out company of NTU Pharm2Farm in the BioCity of Nottingham. Production later this month. The masks could then be distributed by December. But the first recipients will be the health facilities and then the transport companies. Finally, those of catering. It is likely that they will then also be distributed to the population. Maybe early next year. This Coronavirus-killing mask is a groundbreaking discovery of its kind. But in recent months, scientists in China had also invented another device. A graphene mask capable of making bacteria inactive. But this one produced in England goes further and would be more innovative. But we must wait.
So it is up to us to continue to abide by the rules. Research and science are really making great strides. The Vaccine it is almost ready and may be released soon. Antibody treatments would be effective for some types of patients. We therefore look forward with confidence. But above all by continuing to protect us.
