Thom Mayer made those comments on The Adam Schefter Podcast. He said that “there will probably be a recommendation” that the NFL use such masks to protect players from COVID-19 when the league returns to play.

N95 masks — including those made by market leader 3M of St. Paul, Minn. — make extensive use of plastics. Five of the six main components of 3M’s N95 mask use some type of plastic. Its straps are made from thermoplastic elastomers, the nose foam is polyurethane and the filter is polypropylene fiber. The mask’s shell and cover both are made of polyester.

Lake Forest, Calif.-based Oakley, a unit of global eyewear leader Luxotica of Milan, makes all face visors used by the league. Mayer said that in early March he suggested looking into ways for helmets and face masks to prevent the spread of the virus and Oakley engineers “got the bit between their teeth.”

“They’ve got some prototypes,” Mayer said. “Some of them, when you first look at them, you think, ‘gosh, no’ because you’re not used to seeing it … but they’re looking at every issue you can imagine, including when it fogs up. …These guys are used to dealing with this stuff.” http://[url=https://www.nflfacecovering.com/new-york-jets.html]New York Jets Face Masks[/url]

The measures going into effect on Tuesday also include a ban on public rallies or demonstrations of more than 10 people. Restaurants can provide only take out and delivery after 9 p.m., and public transportation will be limited after 10 p.m.

South Korea has saw the virus spread faster after authorities eased social distancing restrictions to the lowest level in October amid concerns about a weak economy.

Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency Director Jeong Eun-kyeong said tightening guidelines was inevitable as a failure to slow transmissions now could “break the dam” in anti-virus efforts and result in a surge in infections nationwide that may overwhelm hospital systems.

NEW YORK — Major League Baseball is cracking down on coronavirus safety protocols, mandating that players and staff wear face coverings at all times, including in the dugouts and bullpens, except for players on the field of play.

These coverings won’t just benefit you either. FOCO and MLB have agreed to a partnership to donate all proceeds to Feeding America and Second Harvest Canada.
