摘要：
The use of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) has been recognized as an effective measure to mitigate droplet and airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Although there are various types of RPE available, different RPEs serve different purposes and offer various levels of protection against aerosols. Additionally, recent evidence highlights the role of good fit in ensuring the effectiveness of RPEs. Some modified procedures can enhance the effectiveness of surgical masks by improving fit. In the age of SARS-CoV-2, there is an urgent need for knowledge about RPEs. The correct selection and use of RPEs are of pivotal importance for breaking the transmission chain of SARS-CoV-2.
