The World Health Organization (WHO) has found that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is transmitted via droplets and fomites during unprotected exposure in the immediate environment of those infected. Several studies concluded that wearing facemasks reduces virus transmission. Most national strategies to respond to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic included, among others, the use of face masks to reduce the infection propagation. For this reason, just a few weeks after the COVID-19 epidemic started, there was a massive increase in face masks demand, and a shortage occurred. Major providers of facemasks increased their production as much as four times their typical output, but this was not enough to fulfill the market demand.
