What Is The Correct Way To Wear A Face Mask?
by Zack Walter Health Care ProfessionalA crucial
step that anyone should take to avoid having and spreading COVID-19 is right
and clear mask use. Masks work best when everyone wears them, but the same
security is not given by all masks “Physicians says”. Look at how well it
suits, how well it cleans the air, and how many layers it has, when selecting a
mask.
How to
select a perfect mask?
1. Make sure that your mask fits against
your face snugly. Gaps may cause air to leak in and out around the edges of the
mask with respiratory droplets.
2. To hold the respiratory droplets in
and out of others, select a mask with layers. If you are sick, a mask with
layers can prevent more respiratory droplets from getting through your mask or
escaping from your mask.
3. Select a Nose Wire Mask

nose wire is a strip of metal around the top of the mask

wires keep the top of the mask from leaking out of the air.
·
In
order to fit close to your face, bend the nose wire over your nose.
The Right
way to wear a mask
1. Using a Fitter or Brace Mask
·
To
prevent air from escaping around the edges of the mask, use a mask fitter or
brace over a disposable mask or a fabric mask.
2. Make sure it fits snugly over your
nose, mouth and chin.
·
By
cupping your hands around the outer edges of the mask, search for gaps.
·
Make
sure that no air flows from the area close to your eyes or from the mask's
sides.
·
You
can feel warm air coming through the front of the mask if the mask has a good
fit, and will be able to see the mask material moving in and out with each
breath.
3. Two ways of layering
·
Using
a cloth mask that has many fabric layers.
·
Wear
a fabric mask with a single disposable mask underneath.
·
The
edges of the inner mask should be pressed against your face by the second mask.
The wrong
way to wear a mask
1. Combine two masks that are
reversible,
·
Disposable
masks are not intended to fit securely and there would be no change in fit when
wearing more than one.
2. For every other mask, combine a KN95
mask.
·
Using
one KN95 mask at a time only.
