ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic which started in late 2019 is still continuing unabated, rather with resurgence of cases in certain areas globally. Even with the emergency use authorization of several vaccines and extensive vaccination programs, we are yet to bring the pandemic to its knees. The present scenario has more than ever highlighted the importance of face masks in controlling the infection and transmission of the SARS CoV2 virus. In this review article, we discuss the evidence available to date to support the use of masks as a protective barrier to limitvirus entry. We also discuss how masks indirectly help stimulate protective immune responses and provide a comparative glimpse on the characteristics of various masks.
