Double masking can provide a higher level of protection from COVID-19, concluded a study led by researchers at the University of North Carolina Health Care about filtration of SARS-CoV-2-type molecules through face coverings. As most nations are rocked with the second or third wave of the novel coronavirus, the findings of the study published in JAMA Internal Medicine on April 16 has stated that the reason for the enhanced filtration of two masks is not about adding too many layers of cloth but eliminating any gaps of poor-fitting areas of the mask.
