Ford develops clear N95 masks in battle against Covid-19

(Web Desk) - Ford has unveiled N95 respirators that are clear. Billed as low cost and reusable, the masks will allow other people to see your face.

Besides the obvious social benefits, the masks will allow people with hearing impairments to read lips. This is virtually impossible with current masks, which block a person’s mouth from view.

Ford has received patent-pending approval for the masks and testing of their effectiveness is continuing. However, if everything goes according to plan, the transparent respirators will become available this spring.
