That’s because of the aerosols that singing produces—fine mists of tiny particles that tend to float in the air for extended periods of time. This makes them potentially more hazardous than the larger droplets created by regular speaking, which generally fall to the ground more easily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The media has reported on \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/17/did-singing-together-spread-coronavirus-to-four-choirs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">several singing-related COVID-19 outbreaks\u003c/a> over the past year, including one in Washington State that left two choristers dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In tests conducted at \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucdavis.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UC Davis\u003c/a>, Roman’s new mask design has proved to be almost as efficient at filtering out particles as the gold-standard N95 mask.
