The advantage of these masks is that asymptomatic people can easily detect SARS-CoV-2, said Yasuhiro Tsukamoto, 52, a team leader at Kyoto Prefectural University in Japan. it is expected to facilitate and simplify the testing of citizens.
According to the channel’s publication Kyodo News, researchers injected a non-threatening form of SARS-CoV-2 into female ostriches in February last year, which allowed them to successfully obtain antibodies from their eggs. Based on that experience, they created a type of filter that is placed inside the mask to detect the presence of the virus.
After using the mask, the filter is removed and sprayed with a dye that contains antibodies to the new coronavirus. If SARS-CoV-2 infection is detected, the filter glows.
