Good to know.

DM, virus particles is much smaller, fabric cant block it. I also prefer Brits wearing cloth masks if they can't find proper mask that meet European surgical mask standard EN14683 TYPE IIR (not those junks on eBay_UK or amazon from Mainland China). But your headline is wrong.

Good for doing drywall too.
