Many people now wear masks. Many, but not all. Contrary to all the stories of experts that masks will not save from the coronavirus, people still wear them. Sometimes it seems that they wear them not to protect themselves, but simply to show the rest of the "herd" that here I am, they say, such a fine fellow, have secured myself. At the same time, the “masked man” walks along the road, then once, lowered it on his chin, lit a cigarette, or put gum in his mouth, and then pulled the mask over his face again. But you can't do that! Okay, I'll tell you now how to properly wear medical masks.
It is difficult to find medical masks in pharmacies in our current situation. People bought everything almost in boxes. There are even workshops on the Internet on how to sew a mask with your own hands. But, the important thing is how we wear the mask correctly, because only 5% of people can do it! On TV, they generally said not to wear masks, but if you do it correctly, you can protect yourself a little more during a pandemic.
Mask wearing rules
The mask consists of two parts. The white side is the filter, and the other side is cyan / pink / green, etc. colors. The colored side is treated with a special agent that creates a layer on the mask that prevents the passage of all harmful substances into the respiratory tract. And now the question is - how to put on the mask correctly? Read the important information about using the mask, and at the end of the article, I will answer this question!
When and where to wear a mask?
Wearing a mask on the street is pointless. The airway must be protected in an area with people. Viruses do not fly in the air, they are transmitted by airborne droplets from person to person. By the way, if an infected person sneezes or coughs on you, then even a mask will not save you! It all depends solely on your immunity. And it depends on immunity how a person will transfer a covid. After all, people with good body defenses tolerate the disease in a mild form, but with low immunity, chronic diseases, as well as diseases of the heart and blood vessels, unfortunately, are at risk, and they carry the disease extremely heavy.
What is the suitability of the mask?
Another surprise, huh? If you didn't even buy masks at the pharmacy, because you have a couple lying around somewhere since the last decade, then I suggest you throw everything away! Why? Because the shelf life of a medical mask is 5 years at a temperature of 5 to 25 degrees. Okay, even if your masks are still good, do you know how long the used one has? The term is only 2 hours, and after that the mask must be thrown away, otherwise you will harm yourself, instead of protecting you from diseases.
Should a mask be worn by a healthy person or a sick person?
The WHO said that if a person does not have any signs of illness, then you should not wear a mask. The only thing when experts recommend wearing it if a person has to come into contact with an infected person or in a medical facility. I will not argue with the WHO, but nevertheless, when you need to go to the store, it would be advisable to put on a mask on your face, run through the counters, and then leave the building and throw it away.
If a person is sick, he should wear a mask. Do you know why? Well, firstly, yes, because he can infect others. And, secondly, even if a person has a common cold, he immediately falls into a risk group! For some reason, it always seemed to me that if a person caught a cold, and there was an epidemic all around, then he would definitely not get infected. Because immunity is at work, i.e. increased, and many drink antiviral, about which they like to say that they are "with unproven efficacy," and use more vitamins. But WHO is adamant - a risk group!
The mask will give a result if you wear it for no more than 2 hours, do not touch your face and wash your hands with soap or an antiseptic. Otherwise, I'm sorry, window dressing and useless actions, or even harmful!
Before putting on the mask, you need to disinfect your hands, or at least wash them. It should cover both the nose and mouth, and there should be no gaps between the mask and the face. A wet mask is a reason to throw it away and replace it with a new one! Do not re-put on a used mask, even if you wash and dry it.
You need to remove the mask by the rubber bands, not by the material. After removing the mask, you need to dispose of it and wash your hands.
How to wear a mask correctly?
Well, now the answer to the question that was at the very beginning. What is the correct way to wear a mask? Filter, i.e. with the white side facing you, and the colored side treated with a special compound outward. This side should not come into contact with the mucous membrane and touch the face.
And yet, there is such an assumption that you need to wear a mask with the white side to you when you are healthy, but when you are sick, turn it colored to your face. This is a myth, and you do not need to be led to it, otherwise you can only harm yourself!
Take care of yourself and your loved ones! #it's better houses
