the CDC has authorized the use of KN95 masks as a suitable alternative to N95 masks for its response to Covid-19.

The main difference lies in how the masks are certified. “In general,” says Sean Kelly, founder of New Jersey-based PPE of America, “N95 is the U.S. standard, and the KN95 is the China standard.” Because of this, only N95 masks are approved for health-care use in the United States, even though KN95 masks have many of the same protective properties.

• 很多商店不允許戴有出氣口的口罩，必須外麵再加一層口罩，有出氣口的病毒會跑出去傳給別人。 -booooo- ♀ (0 bytes) () 08/15/2020 postreply 15:13:16

• 感謝信息。我剛進了一些KN95。上次口罩測驗裏沒有列這型，我還覺得白買了。請教：KN95和surgical mask哪個防禦級別 -香草仙子- ♀ (67 bytes) () 08/15/2020 postreply 04:47:11
