A study on usability and design parameters in face mask: Concept design of UVW face mask for COVID-19 protection.

The aim of this study is to investigate the usability of conventional masks to prevent the transmission of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) and subsequently design the proposed concept of the mask to reduce leakage and increase efficiency. Acute respiratory syndrome COVID-19 is spreading around the world and can be transmitted from one person with COVID-19 to another through personal contact and breathing. Improper design of current masks can lead to virus transmission.
