How to use the mask
In Eastern countries (Korea, Japan etc) where everyone wears a mask, without exception, the situation with the disease much better than in Europe. They clearly understand: if you enter the room, be it a shop or an entrance, the mask is vital. And it’s not just the crowding. There’s a lot of dust, which is a wonderful transmitter of the virus, allowing it to linger in the air.
do you know how to wear masks? It turns out that there are some important nuances to ensure that the protection was effective. Besides, the masks are of different types.
Medical disposable face mask has 2 sides – blue and white. Colored side is treated with a special disinfectant solution. And that it prevents the ingress of bacteria and viruses in the human respiratory tract. And the white side of the mask is a filter.
So if you wear a medical mask white side facing you, you prevent the release of the virus out. That is, this method is good if you, unfortunately, are already a carrier of the virus, and want to keep from infecting others.
But if you are healthy and wear a mask for your own protection, you must wear a white layer outside.
putting on the mask should be possible to straighten the creases in it and distribute the substance on the surface of the face, covering the nose, mouth and chin. A metal or plastic to-lock should be forced to deform, giving it a form that is anatomically close to your nose.
Wear a disposable medical mask, can be no longer than two to three hours. And if she gets damp from your breath, then to change it you need much faster. And, no way, it should not then be washed and ironed for reuse. Protective blue layer will still be destroyed and will no longer be able to protect You. After using this mask must be disposed of in sealed package.
