The CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) has been in the news and people are looking for ways to protect against it. AVON, a global leading manufacturer of respiratory protection products, can provide protection against nCoV dependent upon the actual need, usage, performance and budget requirements.
The COVID-19 virus particle is spherical, with an approximate diameter of 0.125 micrometers. This virus is close in size to the particle size used to test the efficiency of the HEPA component in Avon Protection filters. Because the particulates produced during coughing or sneezing will be greater in size than the naked virus particle, the filter will actually be able to protect significantly better than ≥99.7%. It is important to note that the above-mentioned filter will trap the virus, not kill it. It also does not filter exhaled air only air taken in.
