There are two problems with how current face masks try to protect against coronavirus. For one thing, the coronavirus is small enough to seep through the masks' pores, and for another, the virus can actually be trapped in the mask.
Removing the mask can transfer the virus to your fingers which can then spread it to other surfaces.
Biomedical engineer Prof. Hyo-Jick Choi, from the University of Alberta, has designed a coating made up of sodium chloride and potassium chloride that can be applied to conventional mask material and actually kill the virus.
In testing, the coating renders the virus inactive within five minutes, and completely destroys it with 30 minutes.
