Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? A face mask sold under the name BioGram does not block enough harmful particles. Tests show it may let as few as 25 out of 100 particles through.

What's happening? The mask does not meet safety rules for health protection. It may not work even when used with other safety steps.

Does this affect me? If you bought this mask in Germany or Slovenia, it may not protect you well. Check if you have it.

What should I do? Stop using the mask and ask your pharmacist or doctor what to use instead.
