Reprocessing of N95 masks: Experience from a resource-limited setting in India

OBJECTIVES: Due to the surge in demand for N95 masks during the Covid-19 pandemic, and considering the situation in countries grappling with acute shortages of N95 masks, this study investigated the possibilities of decontamination and reuse of masks. METHODS: Three N95 masks of different makes (A,...
