What is Coronavirus and how is it spread?
Also known as COVID-19, Coronavirus is a new virus that presents as a respiratory illness, with symptoms ranging from as serious as pneumonia to a small cough. Shortness of breath, fever and flu-like symptoms are other symptoms of the virus. It affects people very differently; some go downhill fast, while others feel better and recover quickly. Evidence suggests that Coronavirus spreads from person-to-person, likely through droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected person. Coming into close contact with someone infected with the virus, or the droplets from their sneezes or coughs is the most common way to spread Coronavirus. Touching a surface or object that an infected person has touched, and then touching your face or mouth without washing your hands, is another way that the virus tends to spread.

Preventing Coronavirus
Practising good hygiene is key to keeping yourself and your loved ones protected against infections. Be sure to:- use a tissue to cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough
- not get too close to others
- wash your hands with soap and water, and use hand sanitiser often
- disinfect your home regularly
- wear a suitable mask when you need to go outside.

Certified by the Korean Food and Drug Administration, these masks are comfortable, easy to adjust to suit your face shape and size, simple to wash/clean, remain effective for up to 3 months, and come in a range of attractive designs.
The Haze Mask is made up of five layers, consisting of:
