Winnipeg Sun: New Copper Mask

With Omicron concerns growing, there’s a new face mask on the market locally. Winnipeg’s Humn Pharmaceuticals has launched the Copper Guard Mask in Manitoba and is working on getting the product manufactured here. Tessa Hart at Humn tells me the mask has been approved by Health Canada and it’s the only mask clinically proven to destroy the COVID-19 virus and airborne bacteria. Clinical trials (31 of them) have been done on the mask, proving it to be 99.8% effective in five minutes. She says frontline workers are buying and asking their employers to get the mask. Humn has reached out to the province but has been told to come back in a couple years when its current supply of masks is depleted. If this is a better mask, and I have no reason to doubt Tessa at Humn, the Stefanson government may want to take a second look at it. Especially with this new more transmissible variant making the rounds. A handful of retail locations are now carrying the mask for $4.99 and it’s also available at the company’s website, HumnPharma.com.
