Summary

At this moment, lockdowns could still be required if COVID-19 (by a new variant) or another airborne infectious disease appear. An alternative to lockdown is in still potentially high demand.

An international research collaboration project has been conducted for proposing low-cost and high-performance Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) as an alternative to lockdown, which consists of Japan, Philippines and Singapore researchers.

In the international project, some prototypes of low-cost, comfortable, easy-to-use PAPR gDistancing-Free Maskh with high shielding rate for aerosols have been developed,

 In this international seminar, the current status and the future prospects are reviewed and discussed. Newly joiners, who are interested in this project, are warmly welcome!
