1 ~~~ Delta’s Updated Mask Policy Bans This Type of Face Covering ~~~
"Any mask with an exhaust valve is not approved as an acceptable face mask for customers traveling on any Delta operated flight.”
Delta Air Lines is getting even more strict with their mask rule, now requiring that face-coverings worn by passengers be a specific type.
The airline's newest policy reads,
“Any mask with an exhaust valve is not approved as an acceptable face mask for customers traveling on any Delta operated flight.”
Face masks with exhaust valves are designed for people working in industrial environments to protect workers from hazardous particles.
But the CDC’s face covering recommendation is not meant to protect wearers from particles coming in,
instead, they function to protect those near the wearer from breathing in any potentially harmful particles.
Face masks with exhaust valves have almost the exact opposite effect.
The exhaust valve can act like a jet — sending virus droplets out at high speed and in highly concentrated quantities.
If a person has COVID-19, wearing a face mask with a valve could actually endanger the people around them.
