Wearing this face mask is not a guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly fivefold protection versus no barrier alone (although others have found lower levels of effectiveness).
If you are likely to be in close contact with someone infected, a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on. If you’re showing symptoms of coronavirus, or have been diagnosed, wearing a mask can also protect others.
Delfina does not claim to completely protect or prevent you from contracting or transmitting COVID-19 or any other airborne virus, bacteria
or other disease. Face and mouth masks are barriers to help confine droplets caused by sneezing or coughing.
Our masks act as a simple barrier between you and the world. As with all health decisions, please consult with your doctor or medical professional to determine compatibility and suitability with your personal situation.
We still advocate social distancing in line with the government’s advice. For further information please refer to:
