Why is anti-viral protection essential?

People pass through air curtains of micro droplets of residual sneezes and coughs. These droplets remain suspended in the air for hours and are not visible to the naked eye. Not only do people breathe this air, these droplets cling on to clothes, get on hands and faces, which expose people to routes of ingestion.

A face mask/ shield can prevent their inhalation, a hand sanitizer can kill the virus, but the live virus droplets stay on clothes for hours, making the wearer a carrier to contaminate any other unsuspecting person, maybe a child who may hug parents returning from work.

Now, anti-viral treated fabrics reduce the chance of them becoming pathogen hotspots, thus immensely increasing the users’ and the planet’s hygiene, safety and confidence.02
