We didn't see much use of medical masks in everyday use before the spread of COVID-19 infection, but we did use masks in places like hospitals or laboratories. However, as the transmission of COVID-19 has increased, the demand and price of masks have skyrocketed. Due to huge shortages, many new traders came to the market with masks to meet the growing demand. Many countries have tightened quality control, run awareness campaigns to build the knowledge that not all masks are made the same, and there is a need to reject poor quality products.
Most people have now become familiar with the use of an N95 mask and it's effectiveness against viruses, and the difficulties many consumers have had in sourcing these masks. To meet the demand, the KN95 mask has been introduced as a suitable alternative to the N95. These two types of masks have similarities in name but are made to meet two completely different standards, before buying either mask, you must know the difference between the two and which will suit your needs more effectively.
