Protection against viruses?

Why does the article claim that the mask protects against viruses, without mentioning diameters of virions and the pore size of the masks?

I find that claim awkward, even more so as in high safety labs people may wear full body suits, so there is a logical discrepancy here if they wear full body protection yet the article here on wikipedia insinuates that FFP2 would protect against coronaviruses as-is. Even more so as a percentage value is given, so if that is above 0%, why is "protection" assumed if it is higher than 0%? 2A02:8388:1641:8380:3AD5:47FF:FE18:CC7F (talk) 19:42, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Diameter

Could the diameter for filter size be mentioned in the table? E. g. to see the nanosize range and whether these masks make a difference, depending on the size. 2A02:8388:1641:8380:B9AB:76FC:25B:61AE (talk) 20:46, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
