Double mask prevents COVID infection by 85% to 88%: Haryana's COVID-19 nodal officer

As the country is witnessing exponential surge in COVID-19 cases, Nodal Officer for COVID-19 at Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) Rohtak Dr Dhruv Chaudhary suggested to wear a double mask as it prevents the COVID infection by 85% to 88%.
