I have no idea if there is testing or not. I just never touched my mask in the front but there is absolutely no science to that as far as I know. As for the escaping of air, my masks fit pretty snug on the sides of my face. That masking/unmasking is what I have been doing when I go to the gym. They have had a policy that a mask must be worn at all times with the exception of when you are actively working out (being that you are stationary and not moving about in the gym). I also use the sanitizer to clean the touch points on every machine when I'm done using that machine.

As of yesterday, I stopped wearing my mask at the gym because their signage now says, "Masks RECOMMENDED" and is no longer required. Baby steps, right?
