Mysore/Mysuru: Following a letter to the Principal Secretaries of Health and Medical Education of States by Director-General of Health Services (DGHS) asking public not to use N-95 masks with valved respirators, the State Government is preparing to issue an order asking all medical stores not to sell such masks. This order will apply to Mysuru also.
Health Department officials told Star of Mysore this morning that the sale of N-95 masks with valved respirators will be restricted. The DGHS has observed that the public has been using the N95 masks inappropriately, particularly those with a ‘valved respirator’.
