As such, the general combination of helmets and face masks cannot be considered novel.
However, the use of respirators in police, fire and other first responder applications is far from the same field of endeavor as diminishing community-based transmission of infection diseases during sporting activities.
Such a combination would previously be considered unnecessary or otherwise
