How much bacteria is on your mask? Contact 6 gets answers
Accelerated Clinical Laboratories has a state contract for coronavirus testing and tested Contact 6's mask samples. None tested positive for COVID-19, but they did offer a wide range of bacterial microbes.
MILWAUKEE - Wearing a mask is part of our daily routine amid the coronavirus. Many of us wear reusable masks. Contact 6 wanted to know what bacteria may be lingering inside our masks and whether it's harmful.
In Milwaukee, our team approached 20 strangers and asked for permission to swab the insides of their masks. Their specimen was tested by Accelerated Clinical Labs.
