What mask to wear on the plane?
Due to Law No. 14,019, enacted in July 2020, the use of masks became mandatory in public spaces, such as shopping malls, markets, and airports. In March of this year, the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) outlined a series of recommendations regarding the types of masks allowed on planes.
The intention is for passengers to use models that are more effective to prevent the spread of coronavirus. But after all, which mask to wear on the plane? Check out the main allowed models below:
1. PFF2/N95
The PFF2 mask, also known as N95, is considered one of the safest mask models to prevent the spread of coronavirus. It is 95% effective because it contains a filtration system that prevents external particles from coming into contact with the user.
When purchasing this mask for the airport, choose valveless models that are duly certified by the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (INMETRO).
2. Surgical
If you are in doubt about which mask to wear on the plane, know that surgical masks are allowed. With a double layer of protection, they are a practical option for those who wish to travel, but it is important to change them every 3 hours to ensure efficiency. Then they must be disposed of in a suitable place. Don't reuse them
. 3. Fabric Fabric
masks are often a more economical option, as they can be used again after washing. However, be aware of the model. Airports only allow passengers with facial protection equipment with double or triple layer of fabric to board.
Remember that, like the other mask models for traveling by plane, the ideal is for this protection to be well adjusted to the face and be changed every three hours.
What mask not to wear on the plane?
Before your trip, it's also important to know that some mask models should not be worn on the plane. Check below what they are:
- single-layer fabric mask;
- only the face shield;
- headbands, scarves, caps or any other object that hides the face and offers no protection;
- mask with a breathing valve ; plastic or acrylic
- mask.
If you attempt to board with any of the models above, the airport staff will guide you to make the immediate exchange for a suitable mask. Only then can the trip be carried out.
