– Prof. Yuen Kwok-yung,
Chair of Infectious Disease, Department of Microbiology, The University of Hong Kong, HK

“I think what we’re looking at now with SARS-CoV-2 is that process of becoming a new seasonal
human pathogen. And so, in that sense, humans will be with this virus forever.”
– Prof. Paul Kellam
Infectious disease specialist and professor of virus genomics at Imperial College London, U.K

“This thing's not going to stop until it infects 60 to 70% of people.”

– Michael Osterholm, Director of Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), USA

Some experts believe that the COVID-19 pandemic would last for a considerable amount of time and
effective vaccines take many months to develop, and it may even become an endemic like the flu.

FACE MASKS
TYPES

Clinical mask (non-sterile)


A type of medical face mask which covers the mouth and nose which provides a barrier to minimize the
direct transmission of infective agents. The masks are not rigid and usually made of several material
layers. The function is intended to protect a patient.

Clinical mask (sterile)


A type of medical face mask which covers the mouth and nose which provides a barrier to minimize the
direct transmission of infective agents. The masks are not rigid and usually made of several material
layers. The function is intended for use during medical examinations.

Particulate respirator or FFP (Filtering Face Piece)


A particle filtering half respirator which covers the mouth and nose and the chin. In some cases, the
mask may have inhalation and/or exhalation valve(s). It offers good breathability with design that does
not collapse against the mouth (e.g. duckbill, cup-shaped)

1. Include labelling that accurately describes the product as a face shield for medical use
2. The Shield is not integrated with any other PPE
