A pack of 10 of these masks starts at $8.13.
The South Korean company Atman has released protective anti-virus masks that cover only the nose, which you can not remove while eating and drinking, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to Babel.
The developers called the mask called Kosk — combining the words «mask» and «ko» which means «nose» in Korean. A pack of 10 of these masks starts at $8.13.
The masks are designed to be worn under a regular mouth-covering mask that can be removed when a person is having lunch, such as in a cafe or meeting with other people for coffee.
The new masks have gone viral on social media and online forums since they hit the market. Many users have criticized the company for simulating the fight against coronavirus, since a person with an open mouth can still spread the infection.
At the same time, there are supporters of the new masks, who noted that the invention will allow them to feel more comfortable during lunch break times at work and in public places.
