Rank: Forum user		Hi all COVID19 and reusable masks with P3 filters - after some advice/guidance Usually filters would be changed when the user struggles to breathe or recognises the performance of the respirator has deteriorated, however, working with COVID patients within the NHS in high risk areas would this suffice or should a timescale be put on the use of the P3 filter?
