Abstract :Viruses are the leading infectious diseases. Viruses spread very fast and has a mortal risk to people with chronic diseases. Different methods are being sought to protect against the virus. In this study, the effect of face mask used against Covid-19 and other infections were investigated using finite element analysis. The effects of droplets formed because of cough or sneezing on the masked and without masked human model were analyzed. The human model without mask has a negative effective on the human face. The risk of infection is higher on the unmasked human model than on the masked human model.Keywords : Covid-19, Face Mask, Pandemic, Finite Element Analysis
