Amid the COVID-19 outbreak, wearing face masks have become a priority for many. However, some businesses have taken to stockpiling face masks in order to elevate the price, inducing others to resort to buying face masks from unverified sources.
A recent video online has shown users five tips to determine whether or not their face masks are the real deal.
第一招，放在燈光下觀察口罩的材質，真的口罩內含熔噴纖維 (melt-blown fabric) 而非不織布（non-woven)。
First, you should place your face masks under a light to see if it’s made of melt-blown fabric or non-woven fabric.
第二招，把適量水倒在口罩內層，真的醫療用口罩能夠承裝水而不會漏出。
Second, pour a small amount of water into the face masks. Real face masks should be able to hold the water in without leaking.
