The Director-General of Health Services (DGHS) in the Ministry of Health, in a letter to the Principal Secretaries of Health and Medical Education Departments of States, said it has been observed that there is "inappropriate use" of N-95 masks, particularly those with valved respirators, by the public other than designated health workers. The DGHS referred to the advisory on the use of homemade protective cover for face and mouth available on the website of the Ministry of Health. "It is to bring to your knowledge that the use of valved respirator N-95 masks is detrimental to the measures adopted for preventing the spread of Coronavirus as it does not prevent the virus from escaping out of the mask. In view of the above, I request you to instruct all con- cerned to follow the use of face/mouth cover and prevent inappropri- ate use of N-95 masks," DGHS Rajiv Garg said in the letter.
