A member asked:
Can corona virus just fall from mask ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Whether one is using an N95 respirator, a cloth mask or face covering or a surgical mask- virus droplets can adhere to the material. That is why it is important not to touch the front of mask when it is being removed from the face.
