Following the news that the absence of the mask indoors will be punished with a fine, it is time to take its placement more seriously. There are a few things you need to know when putting on the mask, otherwise it has no effect.
First of all, decide what mask you want. You can use disposable masks, cloth masks that can be reused if washed with detergent or even a scarf if placed properly. Cloth masks, which can be used several times, are among the most common, as they are also the most economical.
To begin with, we are answering some questions:
1. Can I take off my mask to speak?
No, you can not. The virus is spread when infected people cough or sneeze, but also when they talk. The "drops" that are released later may fall to the surface.
2. How to wear the mask, if I have optical glasses?
The combination of mask and optical glasses can be one of the biggest summer inconveniences. To avoid steam generated in the glasses:
- Put on the mask first, then the glasses.
- Put a napkin under the mask and wrap it with the top of the mask.
3. What about those with medical problems?
Wearing masks can be a little difficult for you if you have trouble breathing. However, it is advisable to try some types of masks, as you may find the one that suits you.
How not to wear the mask:
- Do not wear the mask on the chin area.
- Find the mask that suits you, not big enough to fall on you and not small enough to bother you.
- Do not touch the front of the mask.
- Do not give someone the mask you used.
- Do not use a disposable mask more than once and wash the multi-purpose masks regularly.
Last but not least tip: Before putting on the mask, make sure you wash your hands.
