My employer has started to gradually transition us to working at the office after almost three years of working remotely because of the pandemic. So I decided to finally upgrade the face mask that I wear to the office from a KN95 to an Aura 1870+ Respirator N95 Face Mask by 3M.

• Here’s what I like with the Aura N95 compared to the KN95:
  Straps that go over the back of my head and neck, so virtually no strain on my ear lobes
• Has a better fit hence a better seal over my mouth and nose
• Give me more confidence that I have better protection from airborne pathogens and pollution

Three years since the pandemic began and I’m quite proud to say that my family has been able to avoid getting COVID-19. We plan to stay that way because masks work. COVID-19 is still here. COVID is airborne.
