We have said before that masks have now become part of the new normalcy.
People seem to be adapting to this fact and every day more and more their use is expanding. However, you should keep in mind that just putting on a mask is not protecting yourself or others properly.
To help spread Covid-19 you need to put on the mask in the right way and definitely avoid the mistakes you make most often.
#Mistake 1. The mask only covers your mouth
If you did so during this time, you were wrong. The mask should also cover the nose, as otherwise the chances of being infected by your own mask through the nose are high.
#Mistake 2. Your mask is in contact with other parts of your body or your personal belongings
The mask should not come in contact with your clothes, other parts of your face or body. If you do so, its function is not being performed properly. Another big mistake is putting it around the neck area when you do not have it on the face.
#Mistake 3. The mask does not fit well on your face.
The idea of the mask is to create a barrier that does not allow air to enter. At the same time it should be comfortable and not bother you during the time you have set it, writes anabel. It does not matter if you buy it or do it yourself, it just has to fit your face so that it is not bigger than it should be.
#Mistake 4. The mask only covers the tip of your nose
The mask should end at the back of your nose, neither at the bottom nor at the top of it. If you only cover the tip of your nose, you are allowing outside air to enter your mouth.
#Mistake 5. Do not wash properly after removing
If you are going to use it several times, make sure it does not become a source of infection. When you remove it let it simmer for 10 minutes before using it for the second time. If you see that the mask is damaged after a few washes, it is time to replace it.
