With the continuous surge in coronavirus cases and
another lockdown looming over our heads, it’s no surprise that the personal protective
equipment (PPE) has once again been swept off the shelves.
As the healthcare system still struggles to fight
off the unprecedented challenge of the coronavirus outbreak, many healthcare personnel
on the front lines do not have adequate protection or they fail to get the face mask.
It’s like they are in a war with no ammo…
Borris Johnson has already announced a month-long
lockdown in the UK and people have started panic-buying AGAIN making things to
go short on supply, including face mask supplies!
While it may seem that this small piece of
clothing over your face can’t really prevent you from contracting the virus,
the C.D.C advise of wearing a mask is mostly based on recent studies showing
that a large number of people with COVID-19 don’t show any symptoms.
And even those who eventually show symptoms
usually pass the virus to others before their symptoms appear. As a result,
wearing a face mask, alongside other necessary precautions such as social
distancing, helps stop the transmission and keep coronavirus at bay!
In response to the increasing surge in face masks’
demand, many designers have started rolling out face masks (stylish ones,
especially) with some of those taking into account CDC recommendations of an
ideal face gear.
So, if your local store runs short on face masks,
and you have nowhere to find them or you are wondering where to buy one then don’t worry. We’ve got you covered! Here’s
where you can still find facemasks according to your need:
1. Cryalo
