Precautions for wearing disposable masks:
1. Do not reuse disposable masks. Generally, it needs to be replaced every 6 to 8 hours.
2. The outer layer of the mask often accumulates a lot of dust, bacteria and other dirt in the outside air, while the inner layer blocks the exhaled bacteria and saliva. Therefore, the two sides cannot be used alternately, otherwise the dirt on the outer layer will be directly exposed. It becomes a source of infection by inhaling the body when it is close to the face.
3. When the mask is not worn, it should be folded and put into a clean envelope, and the side close to the nose and mouth should be folded inward. Don't just put it in your pocket or hang it around your neck.
4. If the mask is wetted by exhaled heat or saliva, its function of blocking germs will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is best to prepare a few more masks for replacement.
5. If it is in a high-risk place such as a hospital, regardless of the length of time it has been used, once the mask is taken off, do not use it again to avoid contamination by touching the mask.
6. When wearing or removing a mask, the hands may come into contact with germs attached to the surface of the mask. In order to reduce the chance of infection due to contact, special attention should be paid to the cleaning and disinfection of the hands.
