Here are five ways for you to make the most of wearing a mask in public. COVID19 masks
. Although the wearer breathes in filtered air, the unfiltered air is pushed out upon exhalation. This negates the protection for others.. This is a basic infection control principle. Anytime you come in contact with your face, do it with clean hands. This includes rubbing your eyes, wiping your lips, or scratching your nose. Likewise, after removing your mask, wash your hands again.
Don't mess with the mask while it's in place. This is not the time to take a sip of your latte or snack on your beef jerky. Eat and drink in an environment where you can socially distance from others by at least six feet. If you have to adjust your mask when it's on, clean your hands afterwards. For convenience, carry a hand sanitizer with you.The mask should fit comfortably snug, always covering your nose and mouth, and secure under the chin. Covering only the mouth is useless.
For drying, it's the same: Use the highest temperature possible for the fabric. Then allow to dry completely before wearing again. If hand-washing the mask, use a disinfecting bleach. Follow the directions on the product to create the appropriate dilution, then soak the mask five minutes. Rinse with cool water and lay flat to dry or hang in direct sunlight. Be careful not to stretch the fabric; that could damage the mask.
As a former operating room nurse, I know that masks are uncomfortable. Unless it's Halloween, they're no fun to wear. But we're not trying to have fun. We're trying to keep ourselves, our families and our communities safe. So Google search for the perfect mask to showcase your personality, and wear it correctly with pride!
