Wearing N95 and cloth mask is safe and effective while peak exercising, suggested a new study. While there was discomfort exercising with a mask, it did not raise any health issues.
Transparent Masks can Improve Communication by 10%
Masks have become mandatory and is the new fashion during the Covid-19 pandemic. Wearing a transparent mask can facilitate communication for everyone, minimizing stress and improving interaction.

While there was discomfort exercising with a mask, it did not raise any health issues, revealed the study published online in JAMA Network Open.
"This crossover trial found that perceived breathing resistance at peak exercise is uniquely and significantly elevated when EST is performed while wearing a mask," Matthew Kampert, from the Center of Sports Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics, at Cleveland Clinic.
Know the Best Fabric Combos for Cloth Masks
Wearing face masks help reduce disease spread by blocking tiny, virus-laden droplets expelled through the nose and mouth when a person speaks, coughs or sneezes. The best masks for blocking droplets are the ones that had a hydrophilic inner layer of cotton or linen.

"Thus, although it is possible that wearing a mask exerted a physical limitation on exercise capacity, the clinical relevance of such a possibility is not supported by these data," he said.
Efficiency of Different Masks in Protecting People Against COVID-19
Efficiency of 14 different face masks and covering in preventing the spread of viral droplets, were evaluated by a group of researchers. They used a simple, cost-effective method.

Test your Knowledge on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Coronavirus is a large positive-strand RNA virus that is surrounded by a protein envelope. The virus obtains its name from the S protein spikes on its surface, which resemble a crown. The overall pattern of increasing coronavirus cases is shown to spike up with the “second wave” of COVID-19.
With spiking effects of the second wave of coronavirus, the best way to keep it at bay is to follow COVID-appropriate safety practices like wearing a mask, regularly cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue along with physical distancing (6 feet about 2 arm's length), that may help evade the severity of COVID-19 infection.
