A MASK which deactivates the SARS-CoV-2 virus and developed in Portugal is now on sale across Spain in Eroski supermarkets.
The MOxAdTech is the first mask made of textile fabric which stops the virus in its tracks when it comes into contact with it, and passed all the tests carried out on it at the João Lobo Antunes Molecular Medicine Institute (iMM) in Lisbon, which created it along with the company Sonae Fashion, the CITEVE Technology Centre, the fashion retailer MO, the textile manufacturers Adalberto, and Minho University.
Supermarket chain Eroski says it is now on the shelves for the bargain price of €9.95.
“It is highly-efficient, comfortable, waterproof, and has an innovative built-in top layer which neutralises the SARS-CoV-2 virus when it enters in contact with the material,” Eroski says.
