In this blog post, based on my understanding from internet and some doctor friend’s help, i will explain who should wear mask, how to ensure that mask you have wear is effective, and how to take off and dispose it.
Before putting up on a mask, clean hands with alcohol based hand sanitizer or soap and water.
Cover your mouth and nose with mask and make sure there are no gaps between your face and the mask
Avoid touching the mask while using it. If you do, clean hands with alcohol based hand sanitizer or soap and water.
Replace the mask with a new one as soon as it is damp and do not re-use single-use masks.
To remove the mask: remove it from behind – do not touch the front side of mask – discard immediately in a closed dustbin, clean hands with alcohol based hand sanitizer or soap and water.
