I haven't read the size of the virus but a micron is probably close...... bear in mind that the virus is carried by moisture droplets.......much larger than a micron.... So any mask is better than nothing.....

0.3 microns

The N95 is made by various manufacturers under different names, from MSA's "Affinity Foldable Respirator" to 3M's "Particulate Respirator." Look for "NIOSH N95" on the package; the "N95" is a government efficiency rating that means the mask blocks about 95 percent of particles that are 0.3 microns in size or larger
