● Mask wearing Poster/Presentation
● Mask

The Coronavirus is like having a cold or the flu

virus going around right now called the
Coronavirus or COVID-19

Coronavirus can be spread by respiratory

droplets that come out of people’s noses and
mouths. We can all work together to stay healthy
by wearing our masks correctly and consistently

CONTENT The teacher will explain why we should wear our

mask

Wearing a mask can help stop respiratory

droplets from entering the air, landing on
surfaces, and landing on other people. These
respiratory droplets can be big or small,
sometimes so small that we can’t even see
them. When we wear a mask over our nose and
mouth, any droplets coming from those areas
are caught by the mask, which stops them from
getting on anything or anyone else around us.

The teacher will explain the proper wearing of a

facemask.
● Clean your hands before you put your
mask on, as well as before and after
 you take it off, and after you touch it at
any time

● [Show sample mask] “A mask has to

be worn over your nose AND mouth in
order to be effective. The mask should
fit snugly but comfortably against the
side of your face. It should be secured
with ties or ear loops. While you are
wearing the mask you should be able to
breathe normally.”

Don’t wear masks with valves. This

design doesn't prevent the spread of
infectious diseases. The main reason
for wearing masks in the COVID-19 era
is to prevent respiratory droplets from
traveling into the air when a person
coughs, sneezes or talks, the CDC
says. But when a mask has a valve,
respiratory droplets from the wearer are
expelled into the air and could reach
other people.

● When you take off the mask, Store it in

a clean plastic bag, and everyday either
wash it if it’s fabric mask, or dispose of
a medical mask in a trash bin

The teacher will talk about when we should and

we shouldn’t wear our masks.

You should wear your mask when…….

● When you are around other people,
● When you are inside near other people,
● When you are outside near other people,
and
● When you are in a vehicle with other
people.”

You DON’T have to wear your mask…

● While you are eating,

● While you are showering,
● While you are in the bathroom alone,
● While you are in your bedroom alone, and
● While you are sleeping.

According to World Health Organizations

Masks should be used as part of a

comprehensive strategy of measures to
suppress transmission and save lives; the use of
a mask alone is not sufficient to provide an
adequate level of protection against COVID-19.
