Wearing a face mask in public helps prevent the spread of COVID-19 — but only if worn properly, covering both your nose and mouth.
After the pandemic, the Government of every country announced to maintain social distancing and wear the mask when you are in public places.
Wearing a mask doesn’t even just protect you but the other person as well, because if you are having its symptoms you can avoid spreading it among others. But people are wearing masks for the sake of escaping the fine, and that too they are not even wearing it the way it should be worn. They are wearing the mask below nose holes which does not make sense at all, as the virus can easily enter your body through your bare nose.
Follow these Guidelines to Proper way of wearing a mask:
- Wash your hands before and after touching the mask.
- Touch only the bands or ties when putting on and taking off your mask.
- Make sure the mask fits to cover your nose, mouth and chin. If you adjust the mask to cover those areas, wash your hands before and after.
- Make sure you can breathe and talk comfortably through your mask.
- Wash reusable masks after each use. If the mask is disposable, discard it when visibly soiled or damaged.
To Protect yourself & others, avoid these common mask-wearing mistakes:
- We do not recommend wearing bandanas, gaiters or masks with exhalation valves as face coverings.
- Don’t touch your or your child’s mask while it is being worn.
- Don’t wear the mask under your chin with your nose and mouth exposed.
- Don’t leave your nose or mouth uncovered.
- Don’t remove the mask while around others in public.
- Don’t share your mask with family members or friends.
Remember, anything you do just keep sanitizing your hands and avoid coming into contact with people closely, and keep wearing masks in the way they should be.
