Abstract

Face masks are a must for venturing outdoors in COVID times, for both the general public as well as healthcare professionals. They have to be decontaminated periodically since they can act as fomites for the transmission of various infections. Many options are there for decontamination but they have to be chosen wisely because they can destroy the filtration efficacy of the masks.
