What should be paid attention to when using disposable medical masks

Note that there are many things to pay attention to when wearing disposable medical masks. The first is that these masks cannot be reused. This is strictly prohibited, and not only that. Generally, pm2.5 masks need to be replaced after wearing them for at most eight hours. Take off the mask. Also, when using the mask, be careful not to use it on both sides. This is very dangerous. You must know that the outside of the mask is full of bacteria, and it is very unsafe to change the medical mask belt. Also, be sure to keep the clean side inside and put it in an envelope when not wearing it.

 

1. If the mask is wet with exhaled heat or saliva, the function of the mask to block germs will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is usually best to prepare a few more masks for replacement.

 

2. If it is in a high-risk place such as a hospital, no matter how long it is used, do not use the mask once it is taken off, so as to avoid contamination by touching the mask with your hands.

 

3. When wearing or taking off the 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 hands.

 

Also, you should always wear a few more masks on your body, so that you can use them interchangeably. Another point to note is that in a place like a hospital, if the mask is changed, it must be thrown away and cannot be used again, because a place like a hospital may be contaminated with bacteria, viruses, etc., so you must be vigilant in advance.
