What is the importance of using a face mask correctly?
Experts said that medical protective face masks, such as N95 face masks and medical surgical face masks, can effectively block the invasion of the new Coronavirus, but ordinary cloth masks are almost useless. The primary purpose of wearing a mask is to protect yourself and others, so don't let the mask become a display. When there is good ventilation in the open air, when there are no people gathering and you are not sick (at least 2 meters away from others), you can not wear a mask, but you must wear it in other public places. If you feel uncomfortable wearing it for a long time, the best way is to leave in time and shorten the stay time.
"Wearing a mask in the wrong way will not only fail to provide protection, but may also cause illness." Experts remind the following 5 ways to make the mask "ineffective": the face mask is pulled to the chin; it does not fit the face completely; the face mask is removed when touching the outside of the mask; the face mask is worn backwards; the mask is sprayed with alcohol.
