Use of the mask

It is necessary to know certain peculiarities


regarding its use. First of all, you have to know that
it is personal and that it should not be shared with
anyone. On the other hand, it must be stored in
places that guarantee its perfect sterilization. Before
using it, it is essential to wash your hands
thoroughly. Soaps or sanitizing compounds made
from alcohol should be used.

It is also necessary to check its correct placement. It


is inserted through the head, without pulling too
much on the elastic bands, placing them behind the
ears. If you have straps that tie in the back, you first
need to place the top straps on top of your head and
tie them together. Next, the lower straps need to be
tied on the neck part below the ears. Either way,
care must be taken not to touch the internal part that
is in contact with the nose and mouth with the
hands. In addition, these parts of the face must be
completely covered. To eat or drink, you have to
remove it. Its use should not extend more than one
day. Some experts even consider that it is
convenient to change it every five hours.

If the mask becomes damp or is perceived to be


torn, worn, the fabric is not completely smooth or
has any holes, it will be necessary to remove it,
replace it with a new one and destroy the one that
has been used. It is recommended to use scissors to
cut them into pieces and close them in a plastic bag.
Afterwards it is necessary to disinfect the scissors
and always wash your hands. They should never be
thrown on the street or in a public place.
