Talking Taiwan: A Discussion with Jason Wang on COVID and STC Next Health’s Antimicrobial Mask Combo

March 2, 2021 Felicia Lin

This week’s guest is Jason Wang who we’ve had on Talking Taiwan previously. In Episode 102 Jason spoke with me about how his advisory firm Cypress Rivers started producing PPE to support health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, through an effort called Face Shields for the First Line. At the time he mentioned that Face Shields for the First Line would be transitioning into the making of face masks. So we’re welcoming Jason back to tell us what’s happened since we last spoke.

Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:

· The continuing spread of COVID-19 and new variants which necessitates continuing to practice safe hygiene measures such as social distancing, hand washing and wearing masks

· The double mask that STC Next Health is producing which consists of an outer shell and inner filter

· The masks are antimicrobial due to the use of nano-coated silver

· Other products that STC Next Health produces like antimicrobial zinc oxide tape for use on common high touch/high traffic areas such as door handles or hand railings
