Hello again!

Sir filters are usually located in every room in order to clean the ear and avoid spreading of aerosols.

Anyway, as this is a stress echo, you will not perform straining physical activity and wearing a mask will not limit your test.

It will help protect you better.

Hope you will find this information helpful!

Wishing all the best,
