World Health Organization Recommendation!
Only a medical mask cannot protect us from the virus, and at the same time, hand hygiene must be taken care of.
The World Health Organization provides interesting recommendations to the public.
You must wear a medical mask if you have a fever, temperature, you are coughing and sneezing and you have troubled breathing. These symptoms are noticeable and require timely adequate treatment.
If these symptoms do not bother you, you do not need to use a mask.
However, if you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with suspected Covid-19 infection.
How to wear medical masks to protect against Covid-19
- Before putting on a mask, clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
- Touch only the edges of the mask with clean fingers;
- Cover mouth and nose with mask and make sure there are no gaps between your face and the mask.
- Avoid touching the mask while using it; if you do, clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
- Replace the mask with a new one as soon as it is damp
- To remove the mask: remove it from behind (do not touch the front of mask); discard immediately in a closed bin; clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
- Do not re-use single-use masks.
- Wash your hands and replace the old mask with a new one.
