A respiratory mask includes a shield and a mask body. The shield includes
an air-impermeable bent sheet that defines a rim-receiving recess. The
mask body is detachably connected to the shield and includes a rim that
is received in the rim-receiving recess and that defines a chamber
therein. The shield cooperates with the mask body to define a gap
therebetween. The rim is formed with at least an aperture that is in
spatial communication with the chamber and the gap. A filter sheet is
permeable to air and is attached to the rim to cover the aperture.
