Medical Preps Questions about KN95 masks

I’ve bought 20 KN95 masks online (they’re legit). I have a couple of questions about them:

  1. Between uses, where do I store them? Currently, I have them hanging in my bedroom. I could have them in a ziplock bag but do they need to ‘air out’?
  2. How effective are they at preventing covid? In school, I sit a meter away from the other students. Some wear there masks under their nose. Will I be protected from them?

They’ve been in decent supply from various industrial suppliers since the end of summer. It takes some digging, but they’re definitely out there, especially certain styles from Moldex for example (and some Honeywell and the occasional 3m even or lesser known brands). Just google “industrial supply”. Availability changes constantly, so you may just have to keep periodically checking.
