Warm Masks Cannot Replace Medical Face Masks

A search for "warm masks" on an e-commerce platform revealed a variety of masks with different styles and different functions.

Some masks are designed to the corners of the eyes, some have [goggles" and [earmuffs" added to the masks, and some even extend to the neck or Full face. Among them, the monthly sales volume of a thermal mask for eye protection has reached more than 10,000 pieces, and the monthly sales volume of many stores is also more than a few thousand pieces. Not only are online sales hot, but also in offline stores, thermal masks are also very popular. In a store, a variety of warm masks were placed in a conspicuous position. A citizen who is currently selecting said: "I am used to using such thick masks in winter. I have to buy some every year."

But note that the functions of these masks only include protection from warmth and cold, dust and haze, and UV protection. In the product descriptions of several warm masks, it is especially mentioned that "this product is a daily protective product and cannot be used in medical applications."

It is recommended that the general public choose disposable medical masks, medical surgical masks or masks with a higher level of protection. An industry insider in the mask industry said that disposable medical masks, medical surgical masks and higher-level particulate protective masks all have strict implementation standards, and there are clear regulations on the bacterial filtration efficiency and ventilation resistance of masks. The masks that meet the recommendations of the National Health Commission can be found on the outer packaging of the masks. Most of the masks with the main function of `warm-keeping` use warm-keeping materials that generally comply with textile standards, and some do not even have strict implementation standards.
