ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an improved protective cover for use in shielding against contamination or infection, such as through contact with viruses. The present invention identifies previously ignored voids in seams as a chief cause of failure in protective garments and other covers in shielding against virus penetration. By sealing the seams with adhesive so as to fully encapsulate fibers therein and reduce void size to less than 10 micron, the risk of virus penetration is eliminated.
