A recent study showed that those with P95, R95, or N95 face masks were more likely to detract the new Coronavirus (2019-nCov or COVID-19). This is most likely due to the fact that particles can accrete on the mask and when taking them off one must touch their face and put themself at a higher risk than would have been if they had not touched their face in the first place.
