Summary:Introduction: Face mask is a personal protective equipment that is most commonly used by health care and non-health care professionals. In an individual level, the use of face masks and maintenance of self-hygiene and Immunization of individuals by vaccines helps to resist the entry and helps in the reduction of transmission of any virus or bacteria(Cowling et al., 2010)(Mp, Brundha and Nallaswamy, 2019)(Brundha, Pathmashri and Sundari, 2019).Surgical face masks offer significant, but not offer complete control of the spread (Dharmadhikari et al., 2012)(Timothy, Samyuktha and Brundha, 2019). There is a risk of limited access to high level types of respiratory protective equipment like surgical masks and N95 respirators during the air-borne transmissible pandemic situations (Davies et al., 2013). The global spread of avian influenza virus (H5N1) was controlled by the use of personal protective equipment and proper isolation measures (MacIntyre et al., 2009).
