General Considerations For The Use Of Mask

With the outbreak of Coronavirus, the mask becomes an essential part of living. Guidelines are made by the government to wear the mask whenever we leave the house.
But there is a problem I noticed that people are inappropriately wearing the mask, they touch their mask frequently and made mistakes as if they don't know how to wear a mask properly.

Firstly choose the mask according to your convenience, there are several masks in markets such as surgical mask, N-95 mask, and Cloth mask.

[A surgical mask must be used single time, should never be washed as it damages the filtration and protection ability and must be disposed of after single use in a closed bag.

Cloth Mask can be used multiple times, can be reused easily, and can be easily cleaned after the use with ingredients available at home.]

Before the use of a mask make sure to -

• Clean hands thoroughly with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
• As soon as the mask becomes humid or damp, switch to another mask.
• Never reuse a mask without cleaning it. 

How to Wear a mask properly- 

• When using a mask make sure it covers your mouth and nose properly.
• The covering fits snugly against the sides of the face, no gaps should be there.
• You are not facing any difficulty in breathing while wearing the mask.
• The mask or cloth should be tied properly, so it does not slip downwards.

After use-

• Do not touch the front or other surface of mask or cloth, remove it only with strings behind.
• Drop it directly into a soap-solution or boiling water to which salt has been added and a single-use mask should be disposed of in a closed bin.
• After removal, immediately clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.

Always remember one thing while using the mask make sure to avoid touching the mask, if you do clean your hands immediately with alcohol-based hand rub.

For the prevention from the coronavirus, it is necessary if you wear a mask, then you must know how to use it and dispose of it properly.
