An announcement has been made by Swiss Firm
Livinguard about the technology that has proved effective against the Indian
isolate of SARS COV 2 – COVID-19.
The tests on Livinguard’s face mask fabric
were carried out by the New Delhi-based National Institute of Immunology (NII).
According to the results of these tests, it was indicated that the Livinguard
mask has 99% effectiveness against the Indian isolate of SARS CoV-2.
These masks are based on the underlying
principle of the deactivation of microbes that include viruses and bacteria.
Using the technology, a positive charge was created on the textile surface
which makes them powerful against the negative charge of microbes. Hence,
microbes are deactivated when they come in contact with the textiles treated
with Livinguard Technology.
