Corona virus disease also known as COVID-19 is a respiratory infection that is caused by the virus SARSCoV- 2, that spreads among the people by respiratory droplets usually produced by sneeze and cough, and by touching an object or surface used by an infected person. As COVID-19 pandemic is increasing, the best way to limit the outbreak is the use of face masks1,2 which helps in preventing transmission of the virus from a person to another by creating a barrier between the oral cavity and the nose of the wearer with the potential contaminants in the surroundings.3
