Over the last few days, wearing face masks has been made mandatory throughout the country as one of the essential preventive measures against the spread of the raging coronavirus pandemic. Here are a few important aspects regarding the face mask and some handy tips made by a team of doctors:
- Get a face mask or you can make one! Write your name on it - in order to avoid mix-up. As it is made from cloth, it can be washed and reused - no need to throw away. Note: Remember to wash it even before you use it for the 1st time!
- Wear it for a time as much as you can - note it is compulsory if having a cough or fever! Wear even inside the house. Remember, it is mandatory while moving out!
- The face mask should cover the nose, mouth, and chin for its full effective function. Don�t just hang it around the neck! Remember! Take the mask off only to eat, drink, bathe, etc.!
- Once wearing the mask, handle it only with its strings. Do not touch the front of the mask or the inside surface. If you do, you need to wash your hands!
- At night wash your mask with soap and water. If you have an iron, iron the mask after washing and drying. (The heat will kill the virus if any!) Best to dry it in the sun! Make 2 masks for each family member in order to use them on alternate days!
- Wash your hands with soap and water as many times as you can in a day! Especially, when you enter the house or leaving it or, after touching things!
