Very good , the ministry has cautioned .The N-95 Masks with exhalation Valves is actually makes breathing easy nd reduces the heat build up inside the Mask . But the valve will not be able to prevent the Virus while exhaling, actually the person wearing it is safe , but the if the person wearing N-95 is Asymptomatic Positive case the exhaled air will contain the Virus infecting others. more

A useful information to know. And if the advice comes from a recognised governmental institution like the MoHFW, then presumably they must have done proper recce/tests on it before making it public. more
