To reduce the risk of Covid-19, a team of researchers from IIT Roorkee has developed a nano-coating system for face masks and personal protective equipment PPE. While this coating has been tested to effectively kill germs within 10-15 minutes. This formulation is very effective against clinical pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157.

Apart from this, it can prove beneficial for the masks present on the faces of medical personnel, the coating of their gowns. An additional layer of protection against germs is Naveen, the research lead and Professor of the Department of Biotechnology and Nano Technology at IIT Roorkee. K Navani told that eye protection, gowns, gloves as well as face masks are a key component of PPE for medical personnel.

This nano-coating can reduce the risk of disease by providing an extra layer of protection against germs in masks worn by medical personnel. The silver nanoparticles and plant-based antimicrobials present in it eliminate their effects against microbes.
