With the arrival of Kovid, the mask has become a part of our daily lives. Wearing a mask is for our safety but it is a little difficult to eat and drink water. Now South Korea has come up with a comfortable mask for eating and drinking.
The mask, which covers only the nose, has been launched in the South Korean market. The name of this mask is Kosik. Ko means nose in Korean and Kosik is a combination of masks. Packets containing 10 masks are on the market. The mask is available in two pieces. The vented part can be removed as required. This mask is marketed with the claim that it can be worn with everything while eating and drinking water.
On sale in South Korea: ‘Kosk’, the mask for your nose (ko), for use in restaurants and cafes….. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ pic.twitter.com/xHs0EwG6bB— Sokeel Park 박석길 (@Sokeel) February 1, 2022
Various criticisms have been leveled against this mask. Some people ask what is the difference between putting a mask under the nose and this. However, some studies suggest that the virus may be more likely to enter the body through the nose than through the mouth, so this mask may be sufficient. Experts say that this ‘cos’ is a different idea but better than not wearing anything. The Cosco is priced at around $ 8 (approximately Rs. 598) per 10 boxes on the online shopping website.
