Good antiviral full mask / gas mask

[BlueFoxAlpha]

How you doing?
I need help finding a good antiviral full face mask (for everyday use), if someone knows if it's effective against the Coronavirus.

Will any gas mask do the work?

Does it need to have any special features?

for example:

(for everyday use)

Are you in an especially at-risk situation?

Thanks for the answer.
No, it's just for regular everyday use.

Something like that would be counter productive for "regular everyday use".

The filters become ineffective after a while. You'd need a new one at least every day. That quickly becomes worse than nothing, because you either run out, or just get tired of changing them all the time. And then...it is worse than no mask at all, because you think it is doing something.

And speaking from personal experience, wearing something like that gets very uncomfortable very quickly.

Or, lets say you're wearing this for "regular everyday use". Do you have another one or two to swap out?
If you're in a compromised area, and the corona gets on the mask...you need to swap out this one and decontaminate.
Which takes a bit of care to do so without getting the contamination on you and everything around you.

The best prevention is distance and basic hygiene.
Stay away from other people and wash your hands.
