CTIA response to current talks on respirators

(Prague, 14 March, 2021) The Czech Trade Inspection Authority responds to various claims about respirators in the media, which can be confusing for consumers. The dramatic reports on the N95 and KN95 respirators, which are spreading in the context of a competitive struggle, are ultimately not only confusing for consumers, but also give the impression that these products are practically ineffective. A functional respirator with filtration of 94% or higher is useful for consumers and performs its purpose when properly deployed.
