It is no more breaking news that COVID-19 pandemic has changed the face of the world and people living in it. Economy, Education, Businesses, Religion, Sports, Entertainment and other human activities have been disrupted since the evolution of this pandemic. The world is yet to find a preventive vaccine or a curative drug to arrest this scourge. Respiratory hygiene has taken a center stage in curbing the spread of this contagious virus. Wearing a face mark is also one of the ways of preventing yourself from other carriers and ensuring that you don‘t transmit the virus to other innocent people incase you are already a victim. It was a shock for us to learn prior to covid19 pandemic that there was no local medical face mask manufacturing facility in Nigeria. This national embarrassment was cured by Transgreen by becoming the first Medical Facemask manufacturer in Nigeria as part of her contribution in fighting covid-19 pandemic and to promote health security in the country.

There are two major classifications of Face Mask
Non-Medical Face Masks (Non-Surgical or Community Masks) include various forms of self-made or commercial masks or face covers; made of cloths, textiles or other materials such as rubber or paper. They may protect from pollen and dust but has zero protection against bacteria and all known viruses. Depending on the material used in the production, they may pose a health respiratory risks.

Medical Face Masks (also referred to as Surgical Masks) is a loose-fitting, disposable device that creates a physical barrier between the mouth and nose of the wearer and potential contaminants in the immediate environment. It protects from airborne infectious diseases such as bacteria and viruses, bodily fluids and 
particulate matter.

A surgical or medical mask helps block:
• Large particle droplets
• Splashes/sprays
• Splatter

Medical masks are commonly used in surgeries and outpatient department (OPD) sessions in order to shield medical professionals from possible contaminations. With advent of covid19 pandemic the use of medical face mask has extended beyond the hospitals. All health conscious persons who wants to be genuinely protected from the contagious virus have adapted medical face mask as part of his or her daily clothing whether at home or outside the home.
