500원짜리 '비말차단용 마스크' 나온다…5일부터 온라인 판매
Droplet-blocking masks that are safe,... but as thin as dental masks are now available to buy online in South Korea.
They are on sale at the online shop of local mask producer Welkeeps for about 40 U.S. cents a piece.
These masks are much easier to breathe through compared to KF-94 masks, and weigh only one third of them...so are more suitable in hot weather.
But, they are still safe as they were approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety earlier this week.
For now, only 30 masks are available per person to prevent stockpiling.
