What is HOOD-19?

Experts recommend covering your entire face, including your eyes, for maximum protection against COVID-19. However, face masks only cover the mouth and nose, so how can you cover up completely and comfortably? One solution is HOOD-19. Florida residents and people throughout the United States rely on HOOD-19 to keep covered and reduce their exposure to viruses and more.

As the name implies, HOOD-19 is a hood that fits over your head, covering your entire face as well as your hair, depending on your hair length and how it’s worn. It’s made out of a durable, water repellent nylon fabric. A clear screen ensures your vision is not obstructed. The hood is adjustable thanks to a hook-and-loop strap in the back, so one size fits all. HOOD-19 is great for medical professionals and anyone else who needs thorough protection.

Why Your Eyes Should Be Covered

Many people assume that as long as their mouth and nose are covered, they are protected. While it’s true that your mouth and nose are your most vulnerable points, COVID-19 can also spread through your eyes. If someone with the virus sneezes or coughs near you, the droplets can enter through your eyes’ mucus membranes. Thus, your risk of infection is lower if you cover your eyes as well with HOOD-19 or a similar kind of personal protective equipment.
